The City of San Bernardino EDA designed and built the Central Police Station starting in 1993 and it was occupied in October 1996. The building utilized four 50-ton air cooled air-conditioners that operate 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. In the past eleven years, all computer operations for the department have moved to the site and personnel increases continue to tax the system, making it under capacity for the current operations. These units are now eleven years old and have the service operational life of units that are over twenty years old based upon operating hours. A heat wave experienced last September of over 100 degrees pushed the units to the edge of their functional life. Staff and the unit manufacturer, Trane, have determined that the units will not function through another hot summer. Staff immediately started looking for a replacement solution for these units. The manufacturer has offered two solutions that will fit on the existing building roof pads without major modifications: four fifty-ton air-cooled units that would be a like-for-like replacement, or four water-cooled 59-ton units that would offer greater cooling capacity, and generate energy savings that could be used to pay for the project. The water-cooled units should have a longer life expectancy of 15 — 18 years when operating 24 hours a day. The manufacturers lead time for these units is 12— 14 weeks, so ordering these units is at a critical point to meet the summer deadline. The change from an air-cooled system to a water cooled system will also require that temporary cooling be provided for the building during the installation process, at a not-to-exceed anticipated cost of$50,000.00. To minimize the need for temporary cooling and to improve the overall operation of the HVAC system, Staff proposes that two air-conditioning systems be permanently installed in the computer rooms. These units will operate 24 hours per day and give the system some added cooling capacity. Western Allied of Sante Fe Springs was contacted to develop this project. Western Allied is our technical support vendor for the computerized controls used on most City buildings. Western Allied has also been the contractor used on the chiller installations at the Library and Galaxy Recreation Center. They are a full service vendor with the expertise to change from air-cooled to water systems and operate them with our current digital controls. It is important to note that our current controls at the PD are outdated and no longer manufactured. Western Allied has control parts in stock for our systems. If approved by the Mayor and Common Council, this resolution will authorize this Agreement with Western Allied Corporation pursuant to San Bernardino Municipal Code §3.04.010 (B) (3). In this situation, the negotiated purchase is requested due to the vendors knowledge and ability to interface with the City's computerized HVAC control system. FINANCIAL IMPACT The project costs are estimated as follows: Installation of water cooled air conditioners $774,600 Contingency (10% of&774,000.00) 77,400 ContingencyTemporary Cooling (est.) 50,000 Total Cost $902,000 SCE Energy Efficiency Rebate (est. at $.14 per kwh) -$ 50,000 Total Budget for project $852,000 Based on an estimated Energy efficiency Rating (EER) of 8.5 for the existing units and 13.5 - 14.0 for the water cooled units, our preliminary ballpark estimate for utility savings from Edison is about $100,000 - $110,000 per year. The debt service on this project would be $97,800 if financed for 11 years at 5% interest. Debt service payments on the large system noted above are anticipated to begin in FY 08/09. The Mayor and Common Council approved $16,000 of debt service funding in the FY 07/08 Facilities Management Budget, Account 001-325-5803 (lease payments). Staff requests that this money be transferred to Facilities Management Account 001-325-5706 (Alterations and Renovations), in order to fund the installation of two permanent air-conditioners in the PD computer rooms These units would be installed under a separate contract. RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt Resolution, 2. Authorize the Director of Finance to solicit, as needed, lease-purchase rate quotes under the existing Master Lease Agreements and to award a lease-purchase to the lowest responsible leasing company for the HVAC units at the Central Police Station, and 3. Authorize the Finance Director to do a budget transfer of$16,000 in the FY07/08 Adopted General Fund Budget, from account 001-325-5803 (lease payments) to 00 1-325 5706 (alterations and renovations). co :� 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2 RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF 3 SAN BERNARDINO AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES WITH WESTERN 4 ALLIED CORPORATION, FOR HVAC UNITS AT THE CENTRAL POLICE 5 STATION. 6 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO AS FOLLOWS: 7 8 SECTION 1.
