SUBJECT: ADOPT PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY HALL
HVAC UPGRADE PROJECT, CITY PROJECT NO. 11154, AND AUTHORIZE THE
CITY CLERK TO CALL FOR BIDS.
RECOMIENDATION: Adopt Plans and Specifications for the project.
BACKGROUND: On December 21, 2009 the City secured a federal grant for $575,400 from the
Department of Energy for its Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EE&CBG) program.
One of the goals of this grant program is to provide energy efficient retrofits for government buildings.
Based on the age of system components and the number of City employees and members of the public
who rely on it, our most immediate need is the City Hall HVAC system, in use since the building opened
in 1966. Approximately 125 of the City's 390 employees work in the City Hall, including 75 Police
Department officers, administrative staff and volunteers. This project will upgrade a significant portion
of the building's heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, which is currently inefficient and often
inoperable.
The design, prepared by Lefler Engineering, calls for the replacement of the main heating and cooling
system within the building and reconstruction of the first floor duct system. In order to facilitate this
work the first floor of the building, occupied by the Police Department, will need to be vacated. The
Police Department has made arrangements to utilize temporary space while this work is occurring. In
reviewing and developing a plan for the installation, we determined that the East Roof of the City Hall is
in need of repair. This plan includes the removal of the old roof and the installation of a new membrane
roof on this one section of the building.
The construction of this project will require exceptional coordination among different departments as well
as the contractor in order to cause the least amount of disturbance possible. Public Works staff will be
closely involved with this coordination and will communicate with each department representative as the
project develops.
The actual HVAC units were purchased previously, are now stored in the Public Works Corporation Yard
and are ready for installation.
