Facilities staff seek additional bids after HVAC unit failure; quotes presented
Summary
Facilities staff presented quotes for a failed air‑handling unit and for updated controls, requested permission to solicit additional vendors, and said lead times could be five to seven weeks for a replacement unit.
A facilities staff member told commissioners a building HVAC unit serving the Circuit Court hallway and meeting rooms has failed and presented a vendor quote of $18,700 to replace the unit. The staff member also reported control‑wiring issues in remodeled restrooms and said a controls quote had been presented not to exceed $5,470.
The staff member said wiring removed during remodeling was not labeled correctly, complicating control access, and that the current control system was unstable; she asked the commissioners’ permission to seek additional bids from other HVAC contractors familiar with the county's systems. The staff member named several vendors as potential bidders in the remarks.
Why it matters: the failed unit affects courtrooms and meeting spaces; prolonged outages could disrupt scheduled county functions. The staff member said the replacement unit would have a five‑to‑seven week lead time.
Next steps: staff requested authority to obtain additional quotes and to bring a recommended vendor back to the board. The transcript records a presented quote and a request to solicit further bids; no final procurement decision or formal vote is recorded in the excerpt.
