The Agency hereby provides notice that it entered into an emergency contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1570 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

The South Carolina Department of Administration, in accordance with South Carolina Procurement Code, Section 11-35-1570 and regulation 19-445.2110, is providing public notice of the award of an emergency contract to Sincerely Yours. The total potential value the contract is approximately $70,000.00.

 

This procurement is for emergency services to perform water mitigation and dry-out process on four floors at the Columbia Mills building in Columbia. On December 24, 2022, consistent below-freezing temperatures in the Columbia area caused coils inside a large 4th floor air handling unit to freeze and break, causing flooding on floors 1 - 4 on the DHEC side of the Columbia Mills complex and in the State Museum gift shop and surrounding areas. Large areas of each floor were flooded, including the retail gift shop for the museum on the first floor.  On-call technicians responded, and Sincerely Yours was contacted. Immediate water mitigation was necessary to prevent further water damage to the buildings and equipment, and to prevent the growth of mold that would be a threat to the health of the occupants.

 

Please see Section 11-35-4210: Right to Protest of the South Carolina Code of Laws for information relating to protest rights.
