EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Agenda Item No, 16111
July 27, 2010
Page 2 of 2
Recommendation to authorize the necessary Budget Amendment for the emergency repair
of the HVAC system at the Main Chiller Plant (Building K) in the amount of $170,406.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain authorization from the Board of County Commissioners for a Budget
Amendment to approve the emergency repair of the HVAC system at the Building K Chiller in the
total amount of $170,406.
CONSIDERATION: The Facilities Management Department is responsible for the maintenance,
repair, and replacement of the HVAC systems for all County maintained buildings. The following
requires immediate repair to maintain proper cooling for the Main Campus and Jail Main Chiller
Plant (Building K).
As part of an ongoing energy audit, the Facilities Management Department hired a HVAC test and
balance company to inspect the County's thermo- storage (ice) system. This system makes ice
during the night when the power rates are low and then burns the ice during the day when the
electric rates are high sending chilled water circulating to the buildings to maintain the air
conditioning system. During this inspection, the ice tanks were found to be working at considerably
less than their intended capacity. In the current condition, there is not enough ice to burn during
FPL peak demand time; consequently the chillers must produce chilled water during the peak
period causing a higher demand of electrical usage. The repair of these tanks will effectively
provide additional air conditioning tonnage and capacity. This additional capacity is needed should
one of the four chillers fail and to maintain the County's FPL power rate charge schedule. Once the
tanks are repaired, the payback will be about 2.6 years.
FISCAL IMPACT: Staff is recommending that this project be funded within existing projects that
have come in under budget, specifically, the Building F Renovation Project (Project Number 50063).
The cost of the repairs ($170,406) would be transferred from Project Number 50063 to the HVAC
Project (52162) within the County -Wide 301 Capital Projects Fund (301).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no growth management impact associated with this
Executive Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item does not present any legal issues. — JBW
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board authorizes the necessary Budget Amendment in the amount
of $170,406 as described within this summary.
