Committee recommends $396,700 contract for wastewater plant HVAC replacement
Summary
Assistant Public Works Director Aaron Costa told the committee a failing HVAC cooling unit and damaged ductwork at the wastewater plant require replacement; staff recommended contracting Precision Temperature Control for design and construction services not to exceed $396,700, and the committee unanimously recommended authorizing the city manager to execute the contract.
Aaron Costa, assistant public works director and wastewater treatment plant manager, told the committee that an HVAC unit serving administrative space at the wastewater plant is at the end of its useful life and that ductwork in the grit chamber also needs repair. Costa said the city advertised a design‑build request for proposals and received one proposal from Precision Temperature Control, which staff found met the RFP requirements.
"Precision Temperature Control is a full service mechanical contractor with 40 years of operation," Costa said, and staff recommended contracting with them to provide design and construction services for an amount not to exceed $396,700. A councilor moved and a second followed; after no further discussion the committee voted unanimously to recommend authorization.
The recommendation will go to the full city council. Costa and staff said funds are available in the wastewater plant HVAC replacement project and the grit chamber ductwork insulation repair project; no additional local funding was requested at the committee meeting.
