Middlesex authorizes $32,000 for courthouse chiller compressor replacement
Summary
The Board approved a $32,000 appropriation from fund balance to replace two short-to-ground failing chiller compressors serving the new courthouse HVAC system, following consultant recommendations that replacement now is the most cost-effective option.
County staff presented a request to replace two chiller compressors in the new courthouse HVAC system after Johnson Controls identified a short-to-ground failure in one compressor and recommended replacing both matched units. The vendor estimated $16,000 per compressor; Raymond Global, the County’s engineering consultant, concurred that replacement now is the most cost-effective short-term option.
Ms. Ann Marie Ricardi requested a $32,000 appropriation from fund balance to cover the replacements. Supervisor Wayne H. Jessie, Sr. moved to approve the expenditure; the motion was carried unanimously on roll call. The Board discussed warranty, timing, and incorporating the equipment into the county asset-management and long-term capital plans.
