Council approves $16,985.96 HVAC replacement using ARPA interest funds
Summary
Trappe approved Comfort Plus’s $16,985.96 proposal to replace two failing HVAC units in the council room and administrator’s office, funding the work from interest earned in the ARPA account; council asked staff to seek other companies for future maintenance contracts.
The Trappe Town Council voted to approve Comfort Plus’s proposal to replace two aging heating and air-conditioning units serving the council room and the administrator’s office.
Administrator Erin Braband presented the proposal, stating the existing systems are more than 20 years old and beyond repair and that the Town had spent over $2,000 in the prior two weeks attempting temporary repairs to provide heat. The quoted cost on the record was $16,985.96 for a multi-zone ductless mini-split system. Commissioner Chase moved to approve the Comfort Plus proposal and to use interest earned funds from the ARPA account to pay for the work; Commissioner Sullivan seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
President Newnam asked staff to investigate other companies for future maintenance contracts. The council did not vote to change the funding source beyond approving the use of ARPA interest earned funds for this purchase.
