HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06.iDate: 15 July 2015 Item No. APPROVE AWARD OF A CONTRACT FOR CITY HALL ROOFTOP UNIT S3 REPLACEMENT TO SCR, INC. Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve a contract with SCR, Inc. for the replacement City Hall rooftop unit S3. Approval of this contract enables replacement of an aging roof top unit that services the council chambers. Overview The rooftop unit (RTU) S3 provides cooling for the council chambers. It was installed in 1990 and has been in constant operation since the building's commissioning. In the last five years, the unit has had two major repairs, one to rebuild and replace the blower assembly and another to replace the compressor contactors. Repairs before 2011 are unknown. The unit has exceeded its expected 20 year service life and replacement is recommended at this time to avoid a major unbudgeted emergency repair or full replacement. The City solicited proposals for the replacement of the RTU at the end of June. Three proposals were received in the range $22,400.00 to $31,496.00. .Each of the contractors proposed the same model RTU as a replacement. SCR, Inc. provided the most cost effective solution to the replacement of the RTU based on the specifications for a total cost of $22,400.00. SCR, Inc will also install controls on the new RTU for $1,650.00. Primary Issues to Consider • What is the impact of not teplacing the RTU? The RTU has been in service for 25 years and has exceeded its expected service life. If and when major components fail, repairs can be very expensive or require emergency replacement of the entire RTU.
