1. BACKGROUND
This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with General Temperature Control, Incorporated, for the Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plant EAC HVAC and Air Purification project, CIP #650372-100000, in an amount up to $7,583,290.00; and to encumber funds with the Department of Public Service for prevailing wage services in an amount up to $2,000.00, for a total expenditure of $7,585,290.00.
The HVAC & Air Purification Units in the Southerly Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) East Aeration Building are approaching the end of their useful life and are becoming increasingly difficult to repair and maintain. Furthermore, the current configuration is inefficient and overly complex. The project consists of installing a new HVAC and air purification system according to the detailed plans and specifications set forth by the design engineer. This includes making necessary structural modifications to facilitate the system's installation, ensuring compliance with contemporary building standards, and integrating the system seamlessly with the facility's current Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, with the objective of achieving an upgraded, efficient, and fully functional system.
The Community Area for this ordinance will be 64, Far South.
