Agenda 03/10/2020 Item #16C 1 (Emergency Services Center Budget Amendment)03/10/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize a budget amendment for the Facilities Management Division in the
amount of $1,202,500 from the Infrastructure Sales Tax Reserve Fund (318) to fund the Emergency
Services Center (ESC) Chiller Replacement and Controls Upgrade.
OBJECTIVE: To provide the necessary funding for HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning),
Roofing, and Capital Equipment Replacement at Sheriff’s and County Facilities projects and to authorize
the necessary budget amendment.
CONSIDERATIONS: Voters approved an additional penny sales tax in November 2018. Collection of
the surtax began on January 1, 2019. Projects outlined in Exhibit A within County Ordinance 2018-21
are eligible to receive funding from the Surtax. Projects must also be compliant with Section 212.055(2),
Florida Statutes. In Exhibit A, there are 3 main categories of projects identified: Transportation Projects,
Facilities & Capital Replacements, and Community Priorities. The following project has been identified
within the Facilities & Capital Replacement category under line item HVAC, Roofing and Capital
Equipment Replacements at Sheriff’s & County Facilities and was validated by the Infrastructure Surtax
Citizen’s Oversight Committee.
On February 5th, 2020 agenda item 8.B.4, the Infrastructure Surtax Citizen’s Oversight Committee
validated the funding of $1,202,500 for the Emergency Services Center (ESC) (Project 50191). The ESC
was constructed in 2007 and is responsible for the County-wide coordination of all natural and man-made
emergencies as well as housing the 911 call center and other year -round operations. In addition, the ESC
supplies and provides necessary support to the community during times of an emergency. The facility is
serviced by two each 300-ton air-cooled chillers (currently operating at 60% of lead/lag capacity) located
in the chiller well which is a hardened facility on the east elevation of the ESC. The chillers have recently
experienced numerous service outages and further compressor deterioration. The system is now beyond
repair and is undependable with potential failures at any given time.
Due to current installation details that limit proper air flow to the chiller units and the lack of coil
corrosion protection, they are beginning to fail. Condenser coils have corroded beyond repair primarily
due to re-entrainment of condenser air resulting in high head pressures and pre-mature compressor
failures. Consequently, the North and South walls of the Chiller Well will be modified to include
architectural louvers as well as the modification of the structural grating over each chiller condenser
discharge. This will provide the required open areas for proper airflow to and from each chiller.
Additionally, the condenser coils will be coated with anti-corrosion epoxy and the controls will be
upgraded to take advantage of the latest BACnet control strategies for energy conservation and chiller
optimization. Improvements will maintain the hardened structure storm protection of the chillers wi thout
the current limitations of airflow.
FISCAL IMPACT: A budget amendment is necessary to allocate funding from Reserves within the
Infrastructure Sales Tax Fund (318) to Emergency Services Center (ESC) project (50191) in the amount
of $ 1,202,500.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal
issues, and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
