4 Circuit Setters and 8 Ball Valves for Boiler Heater Unit at Ridgeway Towers Public Housing
This purchase or expenditure is being made because:
Main Valves on our Ridgeway Towers boiler need to be replaced to carry hot water to the boiler to ensure residents have heat.
We needed to replace them asap because they didn't work and without the valves installed the tenants would be without heat.
Vendor selected for this purchase:
Plum Tech
n Bids or written quotes were taken on this purchase, as follows:
n Bids or quotes were not taken on this purchase because:
There are only 2 plumbing companies that can service our boilers: Plumb Tech and WBC Mechanical Inc.
We had WBC Mechanical come out and they couldn't repair our boilers to heat tenant's units earlier this year
and it cost us thousands of dollars for them to accomplish nothing. only company that can service us locally is Plum Tech.
