It is essential to ensure that students have an immediate way to receive materials if they are operating ina virtual learning environment. If students do not receive materials, the gap in their learning and skill acquisition will continue to increase. Further, it is imperative that we work collaboratively with the SC Department of Education to meet the needs of this population. Neglecting the needs of this population will prove to be a threat to the states’ critical economy. Datacasting technology and services will increase the state’s ability to provide efficient and safe education to our citizens.

Clemson requires additional off-campus housing facilities to enable and support our plan for social distancing on student in on campus housing required by response to COVID-19.  As we have been making plans to return students to campus for the Fall, the specific requirements have been a continual moving target based on both requirements from CDC and DHEC as well as actual demand based on models specific to Clemson.  For the past 1-2 months we have been in communication with nearly every apartment complex and hotel within a reasonable distance from Clemson to understand availability, pricing and willingness to work with the University on this matter.  It became clear that only a handful of options would meet the needs of Clemson in terms of qty of beds, availability for the semester at minimum and with facilities equivalent to on campus housing.  Conducting a formal solicitation in SCBO at this point in the process would be counterproductive and could result in not meeting the timeline to have plans finalized for the start of the semester and no other process allowed for in the Procurement Code would be appropriate in this situation.  Therefore Clemson intends to enter a lease with the Best Western of Clemson (MDR Clemson TRS, LLC) in the amount of $829,450 for 148 rooms for remainder of the Fall semester as an emergency procurement.  This is in addition to three previous contracts with housing complexes and another hotel contract.

In accordance with the Emergency section 11-35-15700 listed in the South Carolina Consolidated Procurement, the College of Charleston is announcing the emergency contract award to Carolina Chiller Inc. for the replacement of two air cooled chillers at the Beatty Center School of Business.

Both of the air cooled chillers that produce chilled water for the cooling system of the Beatty Center School of Business have failed. This failure has rendered the building unusable as an academic learning center. The urgency to replace the chillers to restore the HVAC system needs to be completed prior to the return of on campus studies. Without the chiller units operating, the resulting high indoor air temperature and humidity environment conditions will be harmful to equipment and finishes including creating an environment susceptible to mold growth. Immediate action is necessary to prevent loss of assets or potential remediation of mold growth
