Background:
The existing Uninterrupted Power Supply Unit (Liebert AP356) at the Combined Communications Center is in critical condition risking the entire load of the Center. The
components are in danger of causing an arc flash/fire event. In addition, we are in hurricane season, therefore, it is imperative we replace the UPS at the CCC to ensure safe and continued operations.
This purchase is exempt from the County's competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Section 22.3-302(16) of the Alachua County Procurement Code, Emergency Procurements in accordance with the Procurement Procedures Manual. However, since the dollar amount of the purchase exceeds the purchasing authority of the Procurement Manager, this Purchase Order is being submitted for Board consideration and approval.
