FISCAL IMPACT: The approximately $581,000 project is budgeted in budget unit 0111 Plant Acquisition. It is a 100% General Fund expense. BACKGROUND: Plans and specifications for the project have been prepared for the Public Works Department by Interface Engineering and filed with the Clerk of the Board by the Director of Public Works. The construction cost estimate is $581,000. The general prevailing wage rates are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and will be the minimum rates paid on this project. The project scope involves the replacement of two chillers with high-efficiency chillers, replacement of two boilers, replacement of a freezer, and construction of a new, rated wall enclosure at the MDF. The existing equipment requires constant repairs and has outlived its useful life span. Replacement of the equipment will help to minimize disruptions to MDF operations due to equipment failures. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If the equipment is not replaced, equipment failures will persist at the MDF and could result in disruptions to MDF operations and expensive repair costs. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
