Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Riley and Associates for improvements to the Westgate Recreation Center HVAC system.
Westgate Recreation center was renovated in 2015, soon after problems developed due to the lack of insulation in the envelope. The facility was re-commissioned to verify where problems existed and what could be done to improve and/or correct building efficiency. This project will be adding light occupancy sensors with VAC and PUV controls, replacing pneumatic actuators with electronic actuators, and adding dehumidification sequences to the PUVs and to the Air Handlers.
The costs for this project will be $67,483.00 with a contingency of $1,517.00 for a total of $69,000.00.
A bid waiver is being requested for this project as this contractor has had previous experience with this building as well as maintaining the controls for all other Recreation and Parks HVAC systems. They are already familiar with this site and equipment.
