Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with General Temperature Control, Inc. for the installation of air conditioning units at the Berliner, Big Run, Bill McDonald and Willis Athletic Complexes.
Between 2010 and 2014 the four athletic complexes were renovated due to the discovery of mercury in the flooring. The existing HVAC units were replaced with new systems, but the budget had not allowed for the addition of air conditioning at that time. These renovations did include the ability to add air conditioning when funding became available. Once the renovations were complete, moisture started to appear on the wood flooring which made it extremely slippery and unsafe to use. After some investigation, it was determined that the improvements that were made for energy efficiency had reduced the air circulation throughout the buildings. It has been deemed imperative, for the safety of our users that Recreation and Parks needs to install air conditioning units in order to fix the moisture problem that has developed.
The costs for this project will be $669,000.00 with a contingency of $66,900.00 for a total of $735,900.00.
Bids were advertised through Vendor Services, in accordance with City Code Section 329, on October 28, 2016 and received by the Recreation and Parks Department on November 17, 2016. Bids were received from the following companies:
