Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract with Brady Trane Services, Inc., DBA Icon Boiler, Inc. in the amount of $503, 423.37, utilizing funds from our Ongoing HVAC Equipment Upgrade and Replacement CIP Program (4190DC076)
The two existing steam boilers are original to the building and 33 years old. They have lasted beyond their life expectancy, which by industry standards is up to 30 years. One of the current steam boilers is no longer operational and is beyond repair. The second one is still operating but has required significant maintenance over the last year. These two steam boilers provide reheat functions to our HVAC systems heating capabilities throughout the building. Due to the age of the boilers, locating replacement parts can be difficult, if not impossible. If the second boiler breaks down, and is not repairable, the building will not be able to heat to State required standards.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This project aligns with- SI1b- Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment- Assessment and maintenance of current DCo facilities, equipment and vehicles
Resource Persons: Claude Eubanks- HVAC Supervisor, Shawn Swiatocha- Assistant Director General Services, Motiryo Keambiroiro- Director General Services
