Council authorizes HVAC repairs at city hall police squad room after debate over bidding
Summary
Council approved a $17,946 proposal from Energy Control and Design to replace a failing condenser and fan‑coil unit serving the police squad room but asked staff to seek competitive bids for similar future work and to clarify warranty/maintenance arrangements.
The Norway City Council approved a proposal from Energy Control and Design for up to $17,946 to replace a condenser and fan-coil unit that serve the police squad room, following discussion about the unit’s condition and whether competitive bids should be sought.
Staff said the units are original to the building and that the cost is budgeted within professional services. Several council members asked whether multiple bids could be obtained and whether a warranty or continued maintenance agreement would be available if a different contractor installed replacement equipment. Staff said the company performing the maintenance has been the long-time contractor and that further clarification would be obtained.
After debate, council members voted to approve the work and directed staff to attempt to obtain additional bids for comparable future work and to clarify warranty and maintenance obligations.
