Village Hall HVAC Improvement Project - Phase 2 - Trane Turnkey
History
The Orland Park Village Hall, which was constructed in 1988, houses six (6) Village departments and approximately seventy-five (75) Village staff. While several facility improvements have been completed recently, including Board Room and office renovations, life safety and security upgrades, soffit and window repairs, and general aesthetics improvements, many other important building systems, including mechanical and HVAC systems, are original to the building.
Based on recommendations from the "2021 Facilities and Operations Master Plan", the Public Works Department worked with a consultant to complete the “Village Hall HVAC Study” in 2023. The goal of the study was to further evaluate the existing Village Hall heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, and provide recommendations for upgrades. The study recommended a multi-phased (two-year) project approach that would result in better operational efficiencies, improved indoor air quality, higher level of occupant comfort, and increased reliability. Ultimately, this would require an extensive level of effort, including the replacement of existing boilers and RTUs, a reconfiguration of the hot water distribution, control upgrades, and improvements to occupant zoning.
As such, in 2023 the Public Works Department reached out to Trane, Inc., which offers “Turnkey Contracting and Engineering” HVAC solutions utilizing OMNIA Cooperative Contract (#3341), a joint purchasing cooperative. It should be noted that this same approach was utilized for the “Main Pumping Station Facility Improvement Project” in 2022, which came in under budget and on time.
Engineers from Trane subsequently visited Village Hall with Public Works Facility staff members to investigate the building’s mechanical and HVAC systems. In agreement with the Village Hall HVAC Study, Trane proposed a two-phase approach to the abovementioned issues. Phase 1, w...
