A RESOLUTION DISPENSING WITH NORMAL BIDDING
PROCEDURES DUE TO NEED FOR EMERGENCY
INSTALLATION AND RENTAL OF A PORTABLE 300 -TON ICE
CHILLER ALONG WITH EMERGENCY REPAIRS TO EXISTING
ICE CHILLER SYSTEM AT RABOBANK ARENA DUE TO
CATASTROPIC FAILURE, NOT TO EXCEED $375,000
WHEREAS, on November 17, 2013, Public Works staff was notified that the ice
chiller system at Rabobank Arena had failed and could no longer maintain the
temperature of the floor to insure the ice rink would not melt. Consequently, the existing
ice chiller was unable to provide a safe ice surface for events requiring use of the ice
rink; and
WHEREAS, Public Works staff assessed the condition of the existing ice chiller and
determined that the chiller experienced a catastrophic failure which would require an
extended downtime in order to repair; and
WHEREAS, because of the health and safety of users of the ice rink, the Public
Works Director authorized the installation and rental of a portable 300 -ton ice chiller
while repairs were in progress to the existing ice chiller; and
WHEREAS, because rental costs for the portable 300 -ton ice chiller will be
approximately $19,000 a month, the Public Works Director authorized the emergency
repair of the existing ice chiller to save on future rental costs; and
WHEREAS, to remedy this emergency, the Public Works Director authorized
Peterson Cat Power Systems to proceed with the installation and rental of the portable
300 -ton chiller and Condenser & Chiller Services, Inc., Rapid Recovery, Thermal Services
and Mycom to make the necessary repairs to the existing ice chiller system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by
reference.
2. The City Council hereby determines that based on the above recitals that
installation and rental of a portable 300 -ton portable chiller along with the
emergency repair of the existing ice chiller is of urgent necessity to
preserve the health and safety of all persons using the ice rink at
Rabobank Arena and to protect property, not to exceed $375,000.
3. The Finance Director is authorized to dispense with bidding in accordance
with Section 3.20.060.D.4 of the Bakersfield Municipal Code.
