Council awards DPW HVAC replacement contract for $56,975
Summary
The council approved a bid award to Automatic Temperature Controls to replace a DPW heating/AC unit and associated controls at a cost of $56,975; councilors discussed scope and prevailing-wage implications before voting.
Richmond — The Town Council voted to award a contract to Automatic Temperature Controls to replace an aging heating and air-conditioning unit and automatic controls at the Department of Public Works facility for $56,975.
Councilors discussed the scope and costs before voting. A town representative explained the job required access to a difficult location and compliance with prevailing-wage rules, which contributed to the bid amount. One councilor asked whether the work included air-conditioning; a staff member confirmed the bid covers both heating and air-conditioning replacement and controls.
"They don't show the breakdown that actually is a complete use that they still got the 5 ton old condenses outside that's getting replaced," a DPW-related speaker explained during discussion, describing site conditions that made the work more complex.
The motion to approve the bid was seconded and passed on roll call. Councilors indicated the work addresses long-standing HVAC inefficiencies and the presence of temporary window units in some DPW spaces.
Ending: Councilors thanked DPW staff and the bidder; the contract will be executed and the vendor scheduled to begin work per procurement procedures.
