RE:
Award of Outdoor Pool Heater
DISCUSSION
Parks and Recreation worked with a plumbing company to determine the best pool heater replacement for the Outdoor Municipal Pool. Longevity and volume of output were major considerations. Three options to replace the pool heater were advertised. The three options progressively increased efficiency. After evaluating the cost vs. value and considering that pool heaters operate for only four months per year, staff has selected the least expensive unit to award, as the efficiency payoff would be years away. This is also the same brand used in the Recreation Center, and staff is very familiar with their operation and maintenance.
Option 1 - Furnish and install (2) Lochinvar Copper-Fin, Model CPN2072 Pool Heaters
Option 2 - Furnish and install (2) Raypak MVB, Model P-2004A Pool Heaters.
Option 3 - Furnish and install (1) Raypak Xtherm, Model P-4005 Pool Heater.
Two vendors submitted bids for each of the three (3) options. Both vendors provided references and came back as very professional, top quality work, dependable, and have been in business for many years in the four corners area.
Bids were opened on Thursday, August 10, 2023.

BACKGROUND
The City of Cortez Parks and Recreation Department has been experiencing issues with the outdoor pool boiler for several years; it is over 35 years old. Due to the anticipated cost of replacement and the ability to make repairs, the Department limped along with temporary repairs so that it could be put into the 2023 budget. This project was approved for replacement in the 2023 budget. Bid documents were prepared and advertised. Bids were received from (2) firms.
FISCAL IMPACT
The replacement pool heater was budgeted at $155,000 in the Outdoor Pool Budget (001-4551). The low bid is $126,923, well below the budgeted amount.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Council award the Outdoor Pool Heater bid to Farmington Heating and Metal, Co., not exceeding $126,923.
MOTION
If agreed upon by the City Council, a possible motion would be:
I moved that Council award the Outdoor Pool Heater bid to Farmington Heating and Metal, Co., not exceeding $126,923.
