County approves $1.37 million HVAC replacement at HRS building using Train US cooperative purchase
Summary
The board authorized a piggyback/Omnia cooperative contract with Train US Inc. to replace the HRS building's HVAC with a chilled-water system at a project cost of $1,370,160, noting prior budgeting and phased planning. Work will improve reliability and efficiency.
County staff presented a revised turnkey proposal from Train US Inc. to replace the HRS building's existing split-unit HVAC system with a chilled-water plant intended to improve reliability and efficiency. The proposal, presented under a piggyback Omnia cooperative contract, carries a total project cost of $1,370,160 (excluding a $25,000 add-alternate for a housekeeping pad the county expects to complete in-house).
"The revised proposal ... for total project cost of $1,370,160," Mr. Ridley (speaker 20) said, adding that the project had been budgeted and that prior designs had ranged higher ($2-3M) before the current option fit within available funding. Commissioners confirmed that approximately $1.5M had been set aside over a two-year budget process for the project and approved the contract unanimously.
Staff noted ancillary work related to the building's hurricane-shelter functions (restrooms/showers) and a future generator replacement tied to updated load calculations. The board instructed staff to proceed with contract execution and phased construction planning.
