Item:
Title
Replacement of the Pneumatic Control System Serving the 5th Floor of the Administration Building
Body
Date of BOCC Meeting: March 12, 2018
Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve a contract with Schneider Electric in the amount of $71,970.00 to replace the existing pneumatic control system and devices that control Air Handler Units (AHU’s) 5, 6, 6-A, & 7 on the fifth floor of the Administration Building. Funds are budgeted in the Ongoing HVAC Replacement Capital Project. The current HVAC control system is pneumatic, which is now obsolete. The pneumatic control devices and repair parts are no longer available, making it extremely difficult to make repairs when needed. Currently, we are unable to control the space temperatures effectively through-out the fifth floor of the Administration Building. This proposed contract with Schneider Electric will replace the pneumatic controlled devices with electric driven devices, which are readily available.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: The proposed policy aligns with Goal 5: Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government
Resource Persons: Motiryo Keambiroiro, Director of General Services; Shawn Swiatocha, Assistant Director of General Services, Thomas Dougherty, Project Facilitator
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the Board approve a contract with Schneider Electric in the amount of $71,970.00 to replace the pneumatic controls with electric driven devices serving the fifth floor (IS&T department) of the Administration Building.
