These improvements included: <br />• Community Center interior lighting retrofit and upgrades (LED) <br />• Community Center exterior lighting retrofit and upgrades <br />• Community Center replace RTU #3,#5, #6 and #7 & kitchen MUA with BAS <br />upgrades <br />• City Hall HVAC controls <br />• City Hall interior lighting retrofit and upgrade to T-8 <br />• City Hall boiler BAS control upgrades <br />• City Hall and Community Center install solar panels 20KW system <br />• Trail Lights upgrade to LED <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Since the beginning of this project Trane has completed several of the proposed items including <br />the trail lighting, building automation system upgrades and a majority of the interior and exterior <br />lighting upgrades. However, one item that has continued to lag behind is the installation of the <br />solar panels on City Hall and the Community Center. Several issues have led to this situation <br />including clarification of rebates allowed for the subcontractor and building structural analysis. <br /> <br />Staff has been meeting with Trane and their subcontractors in order to clarify and establish a <br />timeline for completion of the rest of this project. In order to provide additional information to <br />and address these questions for the Council, Jeff Groth, District Contracting Operations Leader <br />and Bill Nicol, Jr. Area Contracting Manager will be attending the work session. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Brian Erickson, P.E.
