Power Factor
The current UPS system is not in good condition and after five service calls in the last 60
days, the maintenance company warned Staff that the current system may not work
correctly during a power interruption. Recently, this system has failed several times
causing some 911 equipment to fail. The failures have required maintenance immediately
after every power interruption.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to ratify the purchase of the UPS equipment
from Power Factor, Inc. in the total amount of $36,283.99.
