ACTION REQUEST (Brief Summary)
Approve the purchase and installation of a new swimming pool heater at the Lowry Center.
BACKGROUND
This work will replace the existing electric water heater for the small pool at the Lowry Center with a new gas heater. This project also includes relocating the heater out of the corrosive environment of the swimming pool equipment room to the adjacent mechanical room. This should extend the life of the equipment. The Lowry Center pool was constructed in the 1970's with an electric heater which was last replaced in 2007 and has functioned well past it's lifespan. The heater is now inoperable, beyond repair, and has been out of commission for two months. It has been determined that electric heaters are no longer the standard in swimming pool heating and it is now necessary to transition to a gas heater.
The total cost for this purchase, including the add option 1: fiberglass unistrut and clamps, is $76,923.90. The purchase will be made from The Brandt Companies, LLC. via BuyBoard contract # 638-21.
A copy of the proposal is attached for your review.
