County to replace failing 15‑ton HVAC unit at airport FBO; low bid $30,200
Summary
Staff recommended replacing a failing 15‑ton HVAC unit at the county airport FBO (installed c. 2008). The low quote for replacing the single failing unit is $30,200 (Jackson Services); staff noted an option to replace all three aging units for about $63,000.
Staff reported that the FBO building’s primary 15‑ton HVAC unit — one of three installed during a 2008 renovation — is near failure, with one compressor out and repeated repairs totaling nearly $3,000 in recent months. Staff presented three replacement quotes and recommended replacing the failing 15‑ton unit at the low bid of $30,200; a single‑vendor quote to replace all three units together was about $63,000.
Staff noted the capital account and SPLAST 6 include funds for airport improvements and that the board will need to decide whether to replace the single failing unit now or replace all three to avoid staggered failures. Airport staff said losing all units during summer operations would force closure of the FBO, affecting customers and operations.
