; and,
WHEREAS, modification to the building to accommodate the installation will require removal of the roof cap to remove the old MRI, verification of the integrity of the radio frequency shielding and shielding upgrade, if necessary, replacement of the roof cap, and installation of a water chiller and UPS system; and,
WHEREAS, Siemen's contractor has determined that the existing shielding does not comply with the necessary shield rating (90 radio frequency (Rf) minimum; existing provides only 60Rf) and will require that all interior surfaces (ceiling, walls and floor) be removed to repair the damaged shield, followed with installation of new ceiling, walls and flooring; and,
WHEREAS, unlike the current chiller which is exposed to exterior temperatures, the chilling unit for the new MRI will require a fully enclosed space and will require fire alarm system, thermostat controlled ventilation, lighting and emergency backup power; and,
WHEREAS, the quote to perform the above building modifications is $299,800 which is $99,800 over the original estimate of $200,000 based on the finding of breaches in the shielding and requirements for the new chilling unit; and,
WHEREAS, breaches in the shielding do not pose a health hazard, but do create less than perfect images; and,
WHEREAS, this project is consistent with CPGH's Mission, Vision and Values (2)
; and, WHEREAS, in accordance with the Lease and Operating Agreement, this project was included in the

Peninsula Hospital Service Area Board and approval by the Borough shall be obtained prior to
project encumbrance; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF CENTRAL
