Agenda Text
The Board is requested to authorize the County Manager to enter into a contract amendment to the Johnson Controls Inc. contract for continuous work on the HVAC systems at the Administration 1 Building at 200 East Main Street, Durham, NC 27701. This amendment will extend and fund the existing contract to June 30, 2025, to allow for additional required repairs. During the heat spell of June 17-28, 2024, the cooling system for the Administration Building has failed. Our vendor that services this building has been working with our HVAC technician to repair this aging system. Two new compressors are needed for the repair, which costs $98,433.20 and translates to $49,216.60 per unit. Due to the emergency nature of the repair and the need for the building operation, the continuance of the repair is required.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: Goal 4 Environmental Stewardship, Initiative to improve environmental performance of County Buildings, and Goal 5 Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government to maintain and keep in good working order County Building Facilities.
Resource Persons: Motiryo Keambiroiro, General Service Director; Claude Eubanks, General Services HVAC Supervisor
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board authorize the County Manager to enter into an amendment to extend the contract (Funds Reservation 2400000639) with Johnson Controls Inc. for continuous work on the HVAC systems at the Administration 1 Building for $98,433.20, as well as authorize the County Manager to execute future contact amendments if the funds are allocated within the General Services operating budget.
