City to consider McKinstry energy‑savings proposal for fire station; equipment order planned to lock price
Summary
City staff presented a McKinstry proposal to replace aging systems at the College Place fire station and capture energy‑savings; staff said the $1.1M‑plus project has signed state grant paperwork and will be brought to the council for approval, with equipment ordering timed to avoid summer disruption.
City staff told the council that McKinstry, the city’s designated energy‑savings company (ESCO), has submitted a proposal for an energy upgrade and partial replacement of the College Place fire station systems. Staff said the proposal is just north of $1,100,000 and that a signed state grant package exists for the project.
Staff described the existing fire station as a piecemeal construction from the early 2000s and said some systems are at the end of useful life; the station also houses volunteers and dormitory space. They told the council the procurement timeline includes ordering equipment to lock in price but staging installation in the fall to avoid HVAC and cooling work while residents are occupying the building in summer. The proposal will be on the consent or action agenda of an upcoming regular council meeting for formal approval.
No formal council action was taken at the workshop; council members had no substantive questions at the workshop. Staff said the recommended next step is council authorization to proceed with the contract and the planned procurement schedule.
