SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS

Approve Award of Contract for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Equipment Replacements at
Learey Technical Center

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

ASR Engineering Inc. was selected from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design services. The scope of work provides for replacement of five air handling units and cleaning or replacement of the associated ductwork; new energy management controls; and an energy efficient lighting retrofit. The Board has previously approved the purchase of major equipment for the project.

The project, including several alternate items, was advertised and bids received (see attachment). Three firms responded to the solicitation. Staff has confirmed that the low bidder for the combination of base bid and alternate items selected for implementation meets the qualifications prescribed in the solicitation. Award of contract, as indicated in the attachment for the base bid and alternates selected for implementation, to Air Mechanical & Service Corp., the low bidder, is therefore recommended.
