Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends acceptance of the work, filing of the Notice of Completion, and authorizing the City Manager to release the maintenance bonds for the subject project upon successful completion of the one-year maintenance period.
BACKGROUND
This contract replaced the existing heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment within the second floor mechanical room of the City’s Public Safety Building. This project replaced the HVAC system cooling coils, intake air dampers, supply and return fans, and associated ductwork, all of which were at the end of their useful life and in need of replacement. Although the units provide the same cooling capacity as the existing system, this new equipment is more energy efficient and compact.
Analysis
Construction is now complete and was performed in compliance with the contract documents.
