Submitted for:	Martha Palacios	Submitted By:	Martha Palacios
Department:	Engineering

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to ratify and approve a Contingency Fund Expense in the amount of $19,405.00 from Schneider Electric, for repairs at the Webb County Jail, using funds encumbered as per contract and Purchase Order 2018-00000303 and; authorizing the County Judge to execute all relevant documents and any other matters incident thereto. [Account #3865-7420-001-474501-045 (Construction in Progress-Chiller Water Plant-Contingency Fund)]

Issue: Pumps at the Webb County Jail were in bad shape and supply and return water lines had been altered, which did not help the cooling system work efficiently.

Solution: Clean chilled water strainers and condenser coils on chillers #2 and #3. Replace control and display board on chiller #3. Install by-pass line and valve in pump piping in the 2nd floor’s mechanical room, and replace damaged pump piping insulation in the 2nd and 3rd floor mechanical rooms. Another vendor had quoted the amount of $24,900.00 to just install a pump that would serve no purpose.

Result: An efficient cooling system at the Webb County Jail.
