Summary
County maintenance staff reported multiple repairs and upgrades across Lee County facilities, including HVAC and boiler fixes, LED lighting, a negative asbestos test in the courthouse basement, deployment of Matterport 3D scanning, and 16 unplanned work requests awaiting resolution.
Speaker 1 reported on ongoing maintenance and upgrades across Lee County facilities, describing recent repairs to HVAC equipment, lighting upgrades, asbestos testing and a program of 3-D facility scans intended to improve asset management.
The committee was told a worn scrubber was replaced and a 2-inch water line leak in the assessor’s office heating system has been repaired and fitted with extra isolation valves. Asbestos testing of suspicious material in the courthouse basement came back negative, allowing cleanup to proceed, Speaker 1 said.
Speaker 1 also described problems with rooftop unit RTU 2, where exhaust fans were failing to shut off; Hartwig was engaged to diagnose and repair the control issue. A failed pressure switch on a boiler was replaced and the unit returned to service, he said. Two new VAVs at the Newport House are having control issues and parts have been ordered for repair.
Maintenance staff have replaced incandescent lighting in boiler rooms and basements with LEDs and installed a monitor in the custodial break room so staff can view schedules and assignments remotely. An autonomous floor vacuum and a new floor scrubber are operating on the second floor.
Staff reported hail damage at the LEC that is being processed through insurance and completion of kitchen cleaning at jail facilities. The group also identified intermittent failures in jail-side control consoles and a suspected grounding issue in the jail IT room; vendors are scheduled to investigate.
On asset management, Speaker 1 said Matterport 3-D scanning of FMD facilities is complete and scans of larger buildings are in progress; the department needs an upgraded PC to process files and Paul is expected to provide the computer. Speaker 3 praised the Matterport scans for providing 360-degree records useful for insurance and inventory.
Speaker 1 said there are 16 unplanned work requests currently in limbo that staff are tracking. Committee members asked when energy usage data (therms) would be sufficient to calculate savings from recent HVAC and rooftop replacements; Speaker 1 said historical and current data can be compared to estimate percentage savings.
The report closed with plans to continue in-house controls rebuilding to reduce costs and ongoing coordination with vendors for outstanding repairs.
