BACKGROUND INFORMATION

ARMC uses Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) to ensure the continuous delivery of electrical power across its facilities, essential for critical operations such as lighting, computer systems, and medical equipment. ATS assemblies provide an automatic transfer between primary and alternate sources of power when there is a failure or disruption in the primary source. The Contract with ASCO Power Technologies (ASCO) will allow ARMC to receive maintenance and repairs of its ATS to ensure that ARMC can continue to operate without power interruptions, thereby safeguarding the safety, health, and well-being of county residents who rely on ARMC’s services

 

ARMC recommends approval of the Contract to ensure the ATS are serviced and repaired to provide continuous delivery of electrical power throughout ARMC for the safety, health and social service needs of county residents.

 

PROCUREMENT

The Purchasing Department supports this non-competitive procurement based on specialized credentials/expertise/training. ASCO is the manufacturer of the ATS equipment and has specialized credentials, expertise, training and is the only authorized service provider to service and repair the equipment.
