Meeting Date:	10/28/2019

Submitted for:	Joe Lopez	Submitted By:	Cesar Guerra
Department:	Purchasing

Subject:

Discussion and possible action to authorize the purchase of one (1) 40’ High Cube Reefer container to include delivery and a five (5) year warranty from date of manufacture (2019) for a total of $22,116.00 from Integrated Equipment Sales, LLC. and to further authorize the transfer of funds in the amount of $26,000.00 from the general operating reserve account (1001-1310-001-431007-010) to the Medical Examiners Capital Outlay account (1001-2170-001-443000-035).

Issue: The Medical Examiner is in need of a refrigerated unit. The new unit will replace the current equipment being used that belongs to the State and needs to be returned. In addition to the purchase, the existing power supply will need to be upgraded to handle the new power load. A 480 Volt 3-Phase meter setup will be required to operate Unit. Currently the existing unit runs on a 220 volt Single Phase setup.

Solution: Authorize the purchase of a 40’ 2019 Reefer container with a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty to include delivery and further authorize staff to transfer funds for the purchase and any other related expenditures.

Result: The refrigerated unit currently in operation will be returned to the State and the Medical Examiner will have a new unit twice the size and will allow for more capacity.
