Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with McDaniel’s Construction for the Athletic Complexes HVAC Renovation 2020 Project. The contract amount is $446,573.00, with a contingency of $100,000.00, for a total of $546,573.00. An additional $6,000.00 is being authorized for permit and inspection fees for a total of $552,573.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
Berliner, Big Run, McDonald, and Willis Athletic Complexes are the four facilities included in this project. The improvements include HVAC upgrades which will address adverse effects to the wood plank athletic floors as a result of humidity, improve user comfort, and provide increased energy use efficiency at these locations. The currently installed heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems do not have the desired capability to control humidity. The roof also leaks where the existing exhaust fans are mounted. The HVAC systems will be altered to add re-heat capability that allows for humidity control. The roof mounted exhaust fans will be removed, the roof patched, and new variable frequency drive (VFD) fans, controlled by building pressurization sensors, will be installed in the wall.
