County facilities update: chiller maintenance, owner's rep work approved, St. Paul roof bid sent to finance
Summary
Supervisors approved a three-year chiller maintenance contract and funded owner's-representation services for a renovation project; a recent roof bid for Saint Paul was referred to the finance committee for funding decisions.
County facilities staff gave project updates across a range of capital works and sought approvals for several service contracts.
Facilities reported that two large chillers recently installed at county buildings now require a standard maintenance agreement. Staff recommended renewing service with the incumbent, citing integrated controls and priority service; the committee approved a three-year maintenance agreement so routine inspections and seasonal servicing can proceed before summer.
On a separate capital project, the board approved $75,000 for owner's-representation services (project management and oversight) on the Burgoyne Avenue renovation, confirming the city's previously budgeted allocation for the consultant. Staff said the owner's-rep contract had been budgeted and the consultant had been performing work without a signed contract; the board voted to authorize the contract execution.
A reissued bid for the Saint Paul building roof returned substantially lower than the prior season's single high bid; the latest base bid was approximately $130,000 with allowances. Facilities staff said references were checked and recommended moving the item to the finance committee to determine available capital funding. The board voted to send the roof bid to finance for funding review.
Project updates included progress reports on Burgoyne Avenue and Middle Falls construction: Burgoyne work is progressing and on schedule, though crews continue to address remedial issues such as a north-end roof deck requiring additional fire-suppression measures; Middle Falls is advancing toward a spring completion despite a tank-delivery delay that may affect one element of the fire-suppression installation.
Ending: Facilities staff will proceed with maintenance and owner's-rep contracts as approved; the Saint Paul roof recommendation will be discussed by finance to identify capital funding before the project moves forward.
