Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract in the amount of $226,000.00 with Boiler Masters, Inc. utilizing Capital Improvement Funds (CIP) allocated for this project.
The contract will allow for the replacement of two air-cooled chillers one each, at the East and North regional Libraries. The chillers are original to the facility and have passed their useful life span. Due to the age of the equipment maintenance issues have increased, and failures have risen, with an increase in costs to maintain the units in working order. New units will be operationally more efficient and maintenance costs will decrease.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This project aligns with Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment, Maintaining, protecting, and improving natural and built systems to support a sustainable community.

The County Manager also recommends the Board allow the County Manager to sign off on subsequent extensions, change orders, or amendments associated with this contract as necessary to continue services as required as long as funds are available in the CIP fund.
