This may be a real-life test case for Open, Transparent and Accountable government here in the City of Mesa that owns and operates and leases out a cyber warfare facility that is closed to the public for obvious reasons regarding 'the business' done there. . .
What we do know - late and after the fact - and only because city officials now need the City Council to ratify an emergency expenditure of $26,034.60 in a contract award for approval on April 5, 2021.
Inserted for your information is the Council Report that states the "emergency purchase" was done in February 2021. . .

Temporary cooling was needed so PRCF procured a chiller rental until new chillers are installed. City of Mesa rents space to AZ Labs and cooling is essential to their business. The chiller also services areas at ASU and Phoenix Mesa Gateway airport. The Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities Department and Purchasing recommend ratifying the purchase with Aggreko, at $26,034.60. |
