Progress Payment #4 in the amount of $1,320,396.12 due to Pardess Air Inc of Los Angeles, CA for Hawthorne Memorial Center HVAC System Upgrade (Project #23-08)
 

Staff recommends that the City Council approve this Progress Payment #4 and Change Orders #5 through #18 to Pardess Air Inc of Los Angeles, CA

This project includes providing all services, labor, materials, permits, insurance, tools and equipment needed, in accordance with the Plan and Specifications to successfully and safely complete the HVAC system upgrade at City of Hawthorne Memorial Center located at 3901 W El Segundo Blvd, Hawthorne, CA 90250

The work consists of engineering, designing, procuring, permitting and installing: a new chiller (127 TR), chilled water pumps and piping, new VAV AHUs, new DDC controls system, new emergency generator and fuel storage, 5-year maintenance contract and properly remove/dispose of all existing equipment. This progress payment includes change orders to upgrade equipment not within the original scope of work like the outdated main panel in the main mechanical room and to upgrade the emergency generator from a few hours emergency generator to a full day running emergency generator and all equipment needed to make these new upgrades. 
 

This HVAC system upgrade can contribute to our economic strategic plan in several ways. For example, the new HVAC system will be one large centralized unit instead of the existing 3-unit system which will help better cool/heat the community center and be more energy efficient. This project will improve the City’s infrastructure and allow the Community Service Department to provide a better environment for their courses/rentals. 

None. Funds for this progress payment in the amount of $1,320,396.12 will be paid for with funds through a Specified Grant from the Budget Act of 2022 from the State of California Department of Parks and Recreation and through the American Rescue Plan Act Fund.
