MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: Kathleen Miller, Administrator <br /> <br />FROM: Steve Dazenski, Parks Foreman <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Community Center HVAC System <br /> <br />DATE: October 5, 2001 <br /> <br /> <br />The HVAC system at the Community Center has had continued problems since its <br />installation. Flannery Construction, the Construction Manager on the Community <br />Center project, has expressed that they will not assist the City in making the <br />necessary repairs, without charge, due to the fact that the file has “long since been <br />closed out”. (see attached) <br /> <br />The amount of City time spent at the Community Center trying to “temporarily” fix <br />the problems is numerous. The actual repairs made to the system by the company <br />that installed it, were $2,685.00 in 2000 and as of today, the repairs for 2001 are <br />$3,205.00. <br /> <br />The City enlisted the expertise of Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc. (KFI), Consulting <br />Engineers, to diagnose the problems of the system. On May 22, 2001, John Derrick <br />from KFI, sent a letter outlining the problems and recommendations for the HVAC <br />system. (see attached) Mr. Derrick expressed to me that the units that were installed <br />at the Community Center should have a life expectancy of 30-50 years; <br />unfortunately, the way the system was setup originally by the contactor, will limit <br />these units to approximately 5 years. <br /> <br />As we are now quickly approaching the heating season, it is imperative that the <br />problems be rectified as soon as possible and that the proper repairs be made. <br /> <br />
