Staffreport
COUNCIL PRIORITY
• Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure
SUMMARY
In June 2022, the City Council approved an amendment to Climatec’s Phase 3 scope of work to include replacement of the Senior Community Center’s (SCC) HVAC system. Design/engineering work on the system commenced in July 2022 and was completed in December 2022. In January 2023, Climatec obtained a preliminary lead time of 14 months from the manufacturer for shipment of the new HVAC unit. Given the ongoing impacts to programming caused by the HVAC system, Climatec initiated discussions with City staff and HVAC contractors to ascertain whether certain components could be replaced ahead of the unit replacement that would improve the function of the unit until such time as the unit replacement took place.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council approve the amount and adopt a resolution to authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 2 to the Installation Agreement with Climatec, LLC to include interim replacement components for the Senior Community Center’s HVAC system at a cost of $123,900.00.
BACKGROUND

Of that total, $395,828.00 was allocated from the Building Maintenance Fund, $3,314,916.00 from ARPA funds (over Fiscal Years 2021-2022 and 2022-2023), and $1,284,140.00 through a 1% loan from the California Energy Commission.
Amendment No. 1 to the Phase 3 contract was approved by the City Council in June 2022 to add in design/engineering and construction for the SCC’s HVAC system at a cost of $973,525.00 ($600,000.00 from ARPA funds and $375,525.00 of available CIP funds.
Analysis
The scope of work for Amendment No. 2 work includes removal and replacement of the damaged compressor and cooling coil, removal of remaining refrigerant, and removal of damaged equipment. This work will provide improved cooling functionality for the SCC. Staff anticipates that the work can be completed within four months.
