Description

For $172,946.75 in retroactive payment authority for the rental and deployment of a temporary two-megawatt generator for the Phoenix Convention Center Department to allow for emergency power while an existing generator was repaired. The existing generator failed, leaving the West Building, Symphony Hall, backup servers, and the fire pump system without emergency power. Immediate action was taken to prevent the loss of fire protection and emergency power in the event of a utility outage. This expenditure restored critical life-safety and operational systems and ensured compliance with emergency power requirements by reestablishing backup power while the existing generator was repaired.
