Overview This contract replaces the condenser coil in roof top unit (RTU) S3 that services the council chambers and the two cooling units that service the network center. Two of the three units have failed components that must be replaced to return them to operation. The roof top unit that services the council chambers has developed a leak in the condenser coil that is not repairable. Replacement of the coil is required for the unit to be operational. The RTU was replaced in 2015 and the coil is no longer covered by a warranty. One of the two network center cooling units has a failed compressor. Replacement of the compressor is not recommended due to age of the unit and use of obsolete refrigerant. Both units are scheduled for replacement in 2020. Staff recommends bringing that replacement forward to 2019 and amending the 2019 Building Fund budget. The City solicited proposals from two heating, ventilation, and air conditioning contractors for replacement of the condenser coil and cooling units. Both contractors proposed the same equipment replacements. Archer Mechanical returned the lowest cost proposal at $40,190.00 for both projects. Staff recommends approval. Primary Issues to Consider • Is equipment replacement necessary? Yes. The RTU that services the council chambers cannot be returned to operation without replacing the condenser coil. Replacing the compressor in one of the network center cooling units is not recommended because of the scheduled replacement of the units and the obsolete refrigerant used. Supporting Information • A copy of the resolution, proposal tabulation, and proposed contract are attached.
