ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The Air Compressors, currently located at the New Orleans East maintenance facility, need replacement, they are no longer working. This Facility has two air compressors, one of them serves as a redundant back up for the facility. These compressors are used to operate lifts, pump fluids out of bulk drums, provide shop air for mechanic tools, and runs the sump pumps to keep water from flooding the facility. One of the two compressors has been down for about a year, and the second one failed this past fall. Staff were able to combine parts from both compressors to make one good, but now that one has failed as well. The ENO facility is running on a verry small compressor that struggles to keep up with the basic facility needs.
end
DISCUSSION:
Both air compressors located at the New Orleans East maintenance facility need to be replaced. The Compressors are beyond repair and replacement is needed. The facility is working off of a small air compressor that is keeping the essential functions running. These functions include, such as, sump pumps, and bulk oil/fluids pumping. Shop tools are currently being run off of other small compressors that are located throughout the shop, instead of the main shop compressors.
Invitation for bid IFB 2024-007 was solicited in February 20,2024 for the replacement of the two ENO air compressors. This solicitation was closed on March 22, 2024, Liftnow Automotive Equipment Corp was received as a lone bid, as the procurement was limited to small business only. It was also rebid with No DBE Goal and Lift now was the only received bidder again and the recommendation was made to proceed with Lift now due to the urgency behind these compressors.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funding for this project is made available through local funds account 1284306.7570.125 in the amount of One hundred eight thousand eight hundred ninety-four dollars ($108,894).
NEXT STEPS:
Once approved staff will issue a PO and order the compressors.
