| BACKGROUND: |
The existing, inefficient air cooled chiller, was scheduled to be replaced in 2014. The replacement project was advertised under PD13-14.014 and awarded to McNorton Mechanical Contractors, Inc. at the February 6, 2014 BCC meeting. Due to the severity of the damage to the facility from the April 29, 2014 rain event this replacement project was cancelled in Mid May 2014. After 16 months of the building remaining vacant, the occupants moved back into the first floor of this facility on October 2015 and staff is recommending that we moved forward with the replacement of this old and inefficient chiller.
