Council approves $6,446 replacement for WWTP electric room mini-split
Summary
Council approved replacing a failing mini-split HVAC unit inside the wastewater treatment plant electrical control room, citing repeated repairs, refrigerant loss, and mold concerns; the $6,446 contract was awarded to Pestinger Heating & Air.
City staff described recurring failures and mold growth in the electric control room at the Wastewater Treatment Plant, which houses 18 variable frequency drives and other heat-sensitive equipment. Staff solicited quotes from three local contractors and recommended replacement before a catastrophic failure; Pestinger Heating & Air submitted the lowest responsive quote at $6,446.00. "Because of the condition of the unit and continual repairs, staff found it best to budget and plan on the replacement of the unit before it completely fails," staff reported.
Councilmember Blaine Heble moved to approve the Pestinger quote and Councilmember Andrew Smith seconded; the motion passed 6-0 by roll call vote. The contract covers removal of the old unit and installation of a replacement mini-split to maintain cool, dry conditions around the electrical equipment.
