SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Award of Contract for Outside Air Units Required for Upcoming HVAC Project at
Dowdell Middle School

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Engineers were previously appointed or selected from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design services for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) renovation and replacement projects at several schools. To facilitate completion of these projects during the upcoming summer, early acquisition of equipment with long lead times for delivery from the manufacturer is required.

Equipment specifications for outside air cooling units at Dowdell Middle School were developed by the engineer and bids were solicited by District staff. Two bidders responded to the solicitation (bid tabulation attached). The engineer has determined that the equipment proposed by the low bidder meets the requirements of the solicitation. Award of the contract to the low bidder, Applied Dehumidification, Inc. is therefore recommended.
