Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to approve a contract with Brady Trane Services, Inc. in the amount of $53,292.42 for the replacement of three compressors that are a part of the HVAC system for the Durham Center for Senior Life Facility. Funding is available in the current General Services operating budget.
Currently the system trips out multiple times a day due to a bad compressor and in turn is affecting the other two compressors due to contamination within the refrigerant. Other vendors have been non-responsive to requests for competitive quotes. Due to the timing of this issue and rising ambient temperatures, this issue has been elevated for the concern of conditioned space for the County’s senior citizens to participate in their daily activities and be serviced by the Senior PharmAssist Center.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: This work is in line with Durham County’s Sustainable Infrastructure and Environment Focus Area Initiative 1b- Assess utilization and maintenance needs of current County facilities, equipment, and vehicles.
Resource Persons: Claude Eubanks- HVAC Supervisor, Shawn Swiatocha- Assistant Director, Motiryo Keambiroiro- Director
