EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On December 14, 2021, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved a professional service agreement with YEI Engineers, Inc. to develop a design for replacing the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units on the 1127 First Street building. In addition to evaluation of the HVAC units, YEI also observed issues with the existing roofing of the building jeopardizing the feasibility of implementing the HVAC project. YEI and Public Works staff are nearing completion of the design, and the project is nearly ready for bidding. The overall project cost is estimated to be $6 million.
In parallel with this project development, the Board on January 31, 2023, initiated a Facilities Master Planning Process, which will ultimately result in the County disposing of the property at 1127 First Street.
While not performing the HVAC project holds significant operational risks since all or part of the building could become unusable if the existing HVAC system fails, it is prudent to consider whether these funds could be better spent in the FMP process or elsewhere.
PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS:
1. Staff report.
2. Public comments.
