SUBJECT: CONTRACT FOR HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS •
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WEATHERIZATION PROGRAM
SPECIFIC REQUEST (S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Building Inspection Director, or designee to
execute a contract with William Stewart Heating & Air Conditioning, in an
amount not to exceed $400, 000, for the period of April 15, 2006 through
April 14, 2008, for the purchase and installation of appliances, under the
auspices of the County' s Weatherization Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. All costs will be reimbursed by the State of California
Weatherization Program.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Department' s goal is to utilize all the grant funds that have been
made available to the County. Grant funds are provided by the State' s
Energy program. Maximizing the utilization of available funds would help
improve the quality of dwellings in Contra Costa County. These funds are
targeted to low-income residents, in order to help lower their energy
expenses. Specifically, the funds are used to install hot water heaters,
heaters, stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, florescent light bulbs,
weather-stripping, attic insulation, switch and plug gaskets, and water
heater blankets.
In order to increase the production level and maximize utilization of these
available funds, the Department decided to increase its use of outside
contractors . The Department solicited bids from 28 contractors, and
received bids from 6 firms. William Stewart Heating and Air Conditioning
was the lowest responsible bidder. They are both a small business
enterprise, and a local business enterprise.
