City commission approves $18,004 HVAC mini-split purchase for community center
Summary
The commission authorized purchase and installation of two heat-pump mini-split systems for the community center, approving a bid from Siemens Mechanical Grand Rapids for about $18,004 plus a 10% contingency.
Deputy City Manager Doug Lefebvre presented a purchasing request to install two heat-pump mini-split HVAC systems for the community center and told the commission the fiscal-year budget included $24,000 for the work. Lefebvre said the upgrades will improve temperature control, provide resilience during power outages and align with the city’s climate-action focus on building energy efficiency.
Lefebvre said the city received three bids and recommended the low bidder. The commission approved the purchase: motion, second and voice vote carried. The contract award was to Siemens Mechanical Grand Rapids in the amount of $18,004.52 with a 10% contingency; staff said the work is within the current budget allocation and that the systems will operate independently of the main chiller during outages.
Ending: City staff will proceed with contracting and installation and return to the commission if any scope or budget changes are required.
