REPORT NO.: COD-003-Q1 PAGE 3 BACKGROUND AND COMMENT As indicated in the Memo to Mayor and Members of Council dated August 23, 2001 from Fred Horvath, Director of Operations, there has been a main malfunction of the Orono Arena chiller. There was an internal leak in the chiller and the brine is contaminated. A claim has been filed through our insurer and preliminary reports indicate that some coverage will be extended to replace malfunctioning parts and the brine. However, the existing cooler at the Orono Arena is approximately twenty two years old and is nearing the end of its life cycle. Therefore it is not prudent at this time to repair the existing cooler due to the extent of the failure. It is more effective to replace the cooler Although, this item was not provided for in the 2001 Capital budget it is recommended that the required funds be drawn from the Building Services Capital account #7029-X-50 1. Funds received from the insurer will be applied to offset a portion of the cost. The Director of Finance has reviewed the funding requirements and concurs with the recommendation for financing. As the start up for the Arena is September 12, 2001 and as the standard lead time for the cooler is approximately four weeks, it is requested that the procedures for tendering set out in Purchasing By-law #94-129, Section 5, Paragraph 06, be waived and that the required purchase order be placed with Cimco Refrigeration forthwith. 917
