The request of the Administrative Director to approve repair of
dishmachine at Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center and the
purchase of two additional heating elements was reviewed. On
September 19 and September 20, 1997, there were electrical
malfunctions in the basement and kitchen area of the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center, which resulted in power outages to all
of the kitchen equipment and much of the lower level mechanical
equipment . Building Maintenance traced the outages to faulty
heating elements in the rinse tanks of the dishmachine . The
elements have failed in the past and are replaced every few years .
Goodwin Tucker is the only local service for this type of
commercial dishmachine and has performed repairs on our equipment
for the past three years . There were food preparation events
scheduled at the Center for the next week, so Building Maintenance
disconnected the elements so the machine could be used and
authorized Goodwin Tucker to complete the replacement of the
elements as soon as possible. The elements are not stock items and
it was two working days before they were received and repair was
completed. Building Maintenance ordered two additional replacement
elements to keep in stock for future repairs for a total cost of
$1, 143 . 00, which caused the billing invoice to exceed the $1, 000 . 00
pre-authorization limit . Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that
the payment of $1, 143 . 00 for the Goodwin Tucker invoice for the
Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center dishmachine repair and two
additional heating elements be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion
carried.
