FINANCIAL IMPACT

The equipment is located in the north pump room of the ARMC Utility Plant which serves to provide water pressure throughout the ARMC campus. The replacement pumps will act as a reinforcement to the hospital and will allow the hospital to continue and maintain the hospital operation should any equipment have any failure in the future. This means that there will be no downtime to the hospitals water pressure system throughout the campus, which in turn, meets the County and Chief Executive Officer goals and objectives of improving County government operations and operating in a fiscally-responsible and business-like manner by ensuring continued hospital operations.
