Street & Sanitation committee selects lower HVAC bid for transfer station
Summary
Staff recommended TN Cinjun Services as low bidder for a transfer-station HVAC replacement; staff said the purchase can be funded from savings after switching to Waste Management, and the committee approved the recommendation by voice vote.
At the Street & Sanitation committee meeting, staff reviewed three bids and recommended TN Cinjun Services to replace the transfer station’s HVAC, noting the existing units date from 1991 and do not cool the building effectively. Staff said the site can reach about 90 degrees during operations and the unit is used more often than in prior years.
Staff presented the low bid from TN Cinjun Services as roughly $16,887 and contrasted it with a Lee Company bid reported at about $25,000 for the same-size unit. The presentation said warranties and work guarantees were comparable among bidders and that bid documents and liability certificates were submitted with the package.
Staff proposed funding the replacement from savings the city realized after switching to Waste Management; staff described those savings as about $10,000 per month since the April 17 service change. A committee member moved to approve the recommended vendor and another seconded; the motion carried by voice vote.
No contract number or final purchase order was included in the transcript. Staff indicated the project will be included in next year’s budget for formal appropriation and that the warranties were comparable between bidders.
