=) THE CITY OF NASHUA ‘The Cate City’
Information Technology
May 30, 2019
TO: MAYOR Donchess
FINANCE COMMITTEE
SUBJECT: HVAC System Upgrade for Server Room
The HVAC equipment providing essential cooling of the IT Server Room is in need of replacement. Recent and repetitive
failures of the single unit warrant this need. The unit is no longer capable of supplying the growing demands of the Server
Room.
As you know the Server Room houses all of the electronic equipment which runs the City’s business. This equipment is vital
to the operation of the City and requires adequate cooling to keep it running properly. High temperatures reduce the
expected life of the equipment. Extremely high temperatures will result in equipment failure and if this were to occur, the
consequence would be catastrophic.
Information Technology recommends awarding the bid to Palmer & Sicard, Inc. in the amount of $47,625. Funding is
available in the Building Trust Fund account 29.5000 - 81200.
Respectfully,
Bruce Codagnone
