Council approves $49,766 HVAC control upgrade for Westside Fire Station
Summary
Charlotte City Council unanimously awarded a $49,766 contract to Hopkins Mechanical for HVAC controls at the Westside Fire Station; staff said the upgrade should last about 20 to 25 years and modernize controls installed in 2008.
Charlotte City Council voted unanimously to award a $49,766 contract to Hopkins Mechanical to upgrade HVAC controls at the Westside Fire Station.
City staff and the contractor described the existing controls as outdated. "To our understanding, 20 to 25 years," a staff representative said when asked about the expected longevity of the new controls. Council members said the upgrade will allow future, smaller-scale updates rather than wholesale replacements.
The item was introduced as a bid award and approved after brief questions about longevity and brand; staff said Carrier controls are a widely used option. The council took the action by voice vote with no recorded roll-call breakdown.
The project funding and timeline were discussed in general terms during the meeting; staff did not provide a detailed implementation schedule in the discussion. The council approved the contract as presented and moved on to other business.
