Discuss, consider and take appropriate action to ratify the emergency services contract with MTech for the unanticipated necessity to replace, purchase and install a new HVAC unit at the Williamson County Historic Jail Building, currently occupied by the Health District, located at 312 Main Street, Georgetown, TX. 

During the freezing temperatures experienced several weeks ago, the HVAC unit, located at 312 Main Street, occupied by the Health District, failed.  Due to the age of the unit, repairs was unable to be completed.  The unit failed subsequent to the last opportunity to place an item on the agenda for the final Commissioners Court in December; therefore, an emergency purchase was necessary to ensure the staff had proper heat as quickly as possible, and prior to the next opportunity to seek approval from the Court on January 10, 2017.  Additionally, the unit required approximately a week to order and have installed; therefore, increasing the need to purchase the unit as an emergency to provide adequate heat for the building and staff.  Provisional heating units were placed in the building in the interim.
