RESOLUTION NO. _____ - 2018

AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF A REPLACEMENT AERCO 2.0 BOILER AT THE SAUK COUNTY LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER

Fiscal Impact: [ ] None [X] Budgeted Expenditure [ ] Not Budgeted

Background: Sauk County owns and maintains the Law Enforcement Center, which was originally built in 2003. A cracked heat exchanger was discovered in one of the four original AERCO 2.0 boilers. The heating plant arrangement allows multiple boilers to be running to keep up with the heating demand of the facility. With the Law Enforcement Center being a twenty-four-seven (24/7), facility boiler redundancy is very critical. A cracked heat exchanger was found. The Facilities Director along with Building Services staff, several heating contractors, and a boiler factory rep looked at the cracked heat exchanger, and recommend replacement of the boiler rather than just the heat exchanger. The boiler placement, piping and electrical supply will all be a part of the AERCO boiler replacement. A request for pricing for the replacement of the Law Enforcement AERCO 2.0 boiler, and three qualified vendors submitted pricing for replacing the current failed boiler.  Pointon Heating and Air Conditioning responded to the request with a replacement cost of $47,455 for the boiler, and Action Electric proposes to update the electrical power to the boiler at a cost of $965; and,

            NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors, met in regular session, hereby authorizes the Building Services Facilities Director to contract with Pointon Heating and Air Conditioning for the replacement of one Law Enforcement AERCO 2.0 boiler for $47,455.00, and Action Electric to complete the electrical upgrade for $965.00; for a grand total of $48,420.00 to complete the upgrade to the Law Enforcement Center’s boiler system.

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Buildings Services Facilities Director is hereby authorized to approve change orders for any potential unforeseen conditions and so long as such change orders individually do not exceed $10,000.00, so long as budget dollars are available for those changes.

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on October 16, 2018.
