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:

SC Greater Greenville mental Health Center (GGMHC) fire sprinkler heads and pipes froze and leaked resulting in significant flooding to the Greenville and Simpsonville clinics.  The damage caused by the flooding required immediate repair to sprinkler systems and immediate remediation to prevent further damage.  These repairs and remediations were necessary to get the clinics in an acceptable state for opening and prevented a pause in the service to our citizens.  The temperatures dropped below freezing with winds that caused sprinklers and pipes to freeze.  The damage occurred on a state observed holiday when the building was unoccupied.  CCMH contacted multiple vendors to remedy the incident, but the only vendors that were able to provide immediate service for the repairs where A&A Protection and Rainbow International.  A&A Protection and Rainbow International responded to emergency flooding at GGMHC.  Vendors repaired the leaks in fire systems including any necessary supplies required for repairs.
