PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Authorize award and execution of a contract with Kraft Mechanical, LLC. to provide general contractor services for the Law Enforcement Center (LEC) Water Heater Replacements project.
Authorize a budget amendment to the 2022 Buildings Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to support increased scope.
SUMMARY
The original water heaters were installed in 2007 and have reached the end of their useful life. These water heaters not only provide direct domestic water for the showers in the jail but also supply all the hot water to the laundry equipment.
This project is included on the list of projects that were approved by the County Board by Resolution No. 22-101 (March 8, 2022), to authorize award of design and construction to accomplish 2022 Buildings Capital Improvement projects. However, the scope of the project changed from the simple one-for-one replacement of the two existing water heaters to adding water storage which should increase the life of this critical system. The additional piping and water storage increase the construction cost, and a budget amendment is necessary for this project.
Base Bid A includes quantity three 400 MBH water heaters with water storage. Base Bid B includes quantity two 800 MBH water heaters with water storage.
A public bid was advertised on October 28, 2022. Three bids were received and opened on November 22, 2022. The bids received are as follows:
