The University awarded a contract for Emergency repairs to glycol cooling system.
This emergency/quick purchase was required due to a situation in which immediate action was needed to prevent any disruption in University services.
The glycol system that provides cooling to the University data center experienced failures of critical system equipment and required immediate remediation to avoid interference of sensitive payroll and academic data processing requirements.
This award is related to Emergency Award #621C19036. Due to an administrative error, a request to extend the Emergency Award beyond 90 days originally submitted on January 18 did not include the date, time and location of the public hearing which is required for the notice to be extended.
The University is therefore submitting a new Emergency Award for repairs to the glycol cooling system.
