Emergency Procurement for Repair of CAT Building HVAC System

The Clemson University has awarded an emergency contract to Hoffman Mechanical Solutions, Inc. for the repair of the CAT Building HVAC system. The system failed due to a compressor failure, and the university chose to replace it with a Daikin system, which is a close replacement of the existing system. The cost of the replacement is $30,500, which is considered fair and reasonable based on internet pricing and previous orders. The contract was awarded on an emergency basis due to the risk of disruption to research and testing activities in the building. Key aspects of the job include: • Repair of the CAT Building HVAC system • Replacement of the failed compressor with a new Daikin system • Compatibility with the existing system's proprietary computer programs • Time-sensitive nature of the repair due to the risk of disruption to research and testing activities
