Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Public Service Director to enter into a professional services contract for the Facilities Management Division with Dynamix Engineering Ltd., CC No. 31-1536631, exp. 06/27/2005, for professional engineering services associated with the renovation of HVAC systems, direct digital controls, and fire alarm systems at 750 Piedmont Avenue. The Piedmont Avenue building has four HVAC systems. Currently, all four systems have refrigerant leaks. Approximately half of these leaks are serious, violating environmental protection laws. Furthermore, all four systems are piped incorrectly, leading to compressor burnouts, therefore costing the Facilities Management Division substantial amounts of money in repairs. The control system is obsolete and minimally operable. The fire alarm system does not meet current local building codes, the system is not expandable, and the wiring is antiquated.

Dynamix Engineering Ltd. will be responsible for the complete design program including, but not limited to: architectural design, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, cost estimating, civil engineering, construction observation, shop drawing review, off site and on site utilities, site work and drawings for City's approval, razing of existing equipment, all master plans and meetings, design/development, specifications and drawings of all phases, assisting in the bidding process, recommendation letters, submittals, construction administration, change orders, schedules, budgeting, close out of project, new plumbing, mechanical, electrical and HVAC, fire alarms, all engineering and architectural work to complete this project, and other services required for the completion of the project. The Piedmont Avenue building shall conform to the energy code, Green Light/Green Star, OSHA and ADA requirements.

Formal proposals were solicited in the City Bulletin and submitted to the Facilities Management Div...
