Item No. Staff Report No. Meeting Date: June 22, 1998 Type of Business: C.B. WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB:Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Discussion of Community Center HVAC Change Order Date of Report: June 19, 1998 Based on estimates of potential energy savings and a reduction of the initial purchase price, staff presented Council with a request to obtain a change order for the Community Center HVAC system. This process has reached a conclusion with less than the desired or anticipated results. The credits received from the contractor for the originally designed units is far less than acceptable. Although the final cost has not officially been presented to staff at the time of this writing,the change order would cost approximately $135, 000. This amount would represent a system that would provide the optimum in climate control and energy efficiency. At the beginning of this exercise it was anticipated that this system would cost approximately $100,000. To provide additional control for individual areas VAV (variable air volume)boxes could be installed for an approximate cost of$25,000. While this will improve the comfort of the building and especially the multipurpose room when it is divided, this system will not improve the efficiency of the system. Staff will have the final numbers to present to Council at the meeting. At this time it is imperative that a decision is made as to which variation of the change order will be chosen. Any further delay could jeopardize the opening of the building for Community Education's lease. Staff will seek a Council decision in this matter. If Council has any questions regarding this issue,please feel free to call me. K e,/&, V - Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works
