RE: Requisition No. REQ-0000057
HVAC Improvements at Seven Mile and Puritan- Fenkell CSO Facilities
Vendor: Osborn Engineering
Status: New Contract/PO
MOTION
Upon recommendation of Navid Mehram, Chief Operating Officer - Wastewater Operating Services, the Board of Directors (Board) of the Great Lakes Water Authority (GLWA), authorizes the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to enter into Requisition No. REQ-0000057, “HVAC Improvements at Seven Mile and Puritan Fenkell CSO Facilities” with Osborn Engineering, at a cost not to exceed $1,227,728.00 for a total duration of 1,560 days; and authorizes the CEO to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND
GLWA operates and maintains nine combined sewer overflow (CSO) facilities. The first CSO Facilities constructed were the Puritan Fenkell and the Seven Mile CSO Facilities. The Puritan-Fenkell CSO facility was constructed in 1996, and the Seven Mile CSO facility in 1997. Per the CS-299 - CSO Facility Condition Assessment project, the HVAC systems in both facilities are approaching 30 years of age and require rehabilitation. Since both the Seven Mile and Puritan-Fenkell CSO facilities are of similar age and have similar HVAC issues, both will be addressed under a single design and construction contract.
JUSTIFICATION
This project is intended to not only replace end-of-life equipment, but also to bring areas into code compliance and to reduce maintenance and equipment down time by incorporating lessons learned when selecting new equipment. Code compliance will address safety related improvements as well as address other relevant codes such as NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) for proper air changes of spaces and detection of combustible gases.
