PURPOSE: To approve the professional services of Gary Merritt, PE for specifications
and construction documents necessary for the replacement of the heating and air system
in the Court Street Annex.
BACKGROUND: The heating and air conditioning systems in the Court Street Annex
is obsolete, inefficient and requires intense maintenance. The system is old and
inefficient. In addition, a unit is located in an interior hallway on the upper floor of the
Annex and leaks, thereby causing damage to areas below. The services offered through
this agreement will provide the analysis necessary to recommend a new system, the
documents necessary to bid the project, as well as construction inspections as needed.
The cost for engineering services is $6,000. The project's construction is funded through
the CIP.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board authorize the use
of services of Gary Merritt, PE for a sum of $6,000; and authorize the Purchasing
Director to execute the appropriate paperwork.

Air Conditioning Renovation 8t Replacement Project
Revised Proposal
Dear Wilbert
I am pleased to offer my professional services on the above referenced projet. The existing
systems will be documented and a load analysis performed. Potential solutions will be .
assessed and the most viable one will be selected. It is anticipated that the new hvac systems
for this building will need to be phased in so that on-going operations can be maintained.
However, there will probably be a need for some down time and temporary relocations during
the construction period. Construction documents and specifications for the implementation of
the selected options will be prepared including hvac related electrical requirements. This
proposal also includes miscellaneous hvac related architectural changes. These architectural
changes are anticipated to be primarly ceiling plan changes. These services also include
attendance at pre-bid and pre-construction meetings, construction observation visits, punch list
walk through and follow up, and as-built drawings.
I offer these services for the lump sum amount of S 6,000.00 as per our 8/1/%meeting.
Sincerely,
04V olrovrm
