Based on the following determination, the proposed procurement action described below is being procured persuant to the authority of SC Code 11-35-1570 and SC Regulation 19-445.2110.
The Agency proposes to procure: Construction services to demo existing gas-fired water heaters and replace with new energy efficient gas fired waters heaters located with Bldg. 3800 at the McCrady Training Center as an Emergency Procurement from Walker White Inc.
Strong gas odors within the facility led to the discovery of exhaust inversion when both water heaters are running simultaneously. The exhaust is escaping out of the draft damper. This allows gas products of combustion to enter nearby fresh air intakes and enter the living areas and is a safety issue for soldiers sleeping in these areas.
