APPROVE CONTRACT FOR ROOF TOP UNIT REPLACEMENT AT CITY HALL
WITH McDOWALL COMPANY
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve contract for roof top unit
replacement at City Hall with McDowall Company.
Overview
The roof top heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) Unit S6 which serves the West
section of City Hall is scheduled for replacement. The equipment has been in service for 20 years
and has reached the end of its expected useful life. Staff is proposing to replace the existing 15-
ton standard efficiency unit with a new 15-ton high efficiency unit.
The City received two quotes for this work as follows:
Quote 1: Archer Mechanical: $34,550.00
Quote 2: McDowall Mechanical: $31,971.00
The unit is eligible for an Xcel rebate of $4,679.00 so the total project cost will be $27,292.00.
Primary Issues to Consider
• Is the replacement of the HVAC unit necessary at this time? Yes, the HVAC unit is past its
life expectancy and has been having maintenance issues.
