We are requesting $12,000.00 from the Morris Civic Auditorium Capital
Improvement Fund for the following:
a. To flush the sprinkler system.
To visually check the interior condition of the sprinkler piping
by removing sections.
To replace approximately 155 sprinklers.
This system is over 50 years old and in desperate need of the above
in order to comply with the fire inspector regulations.
b. To repair leaks and recharge chiller.
To complete inspection of compressors.
To rebuild the unloader.
To replace suction and discharge valves.
These repairs are needed to bring this system into operation.
Both of the above repairs will capacitate any future additions to the
