NEW BUSINESS
UPS power system replacement - $406,380.00. Last December, there was an
issue with the power feeding the communications center. Ultimately after a
lengthy troubleshooting process, the problem was isolated to the Uninterruptable
Power Supply, (UPS) feeding the communications center. The UPS showed no
outward signs of a problem; however, it has blown an internal fuse impacting its
operation. The main issue is that the UPS Company is no longer in business and
should we continue to have problems, this issue could potentially become critical
in the future. An Engineer and the building maintenance department was
engaged to come up with a replacement, and at the same time harden the
power. This design was presented to the ETSB as a proposal with pricing. At this
time, the issue is not critical and needing immediate attention; therefore, the
board elected to table the matter until there is a better understanding on financial
status from the state.
UNSCHEDULED AGENDA ITEMS
