Title
Emergency Replacements of A/C Compressors for Sportsplex Gymnasium and Soccer Field HVAC Units - Purchase
History
Public Works received a call from the SportsPlex regarding a sudden and drastic increase in temperatures in the gymnasium and soccer field areas. After evaluation of both units, staff determined that the two 22-year old rooftop units that heat and cool the soccer field and gymnasium were inoperable. One compressor from each of the two rooftop units (2 compressors each) had failed in each of the two units. In order to maintain adequate cooling temperatures in the soccer field area and the gymnasium both A/C compressors are needed.
The SportsPlex operates a McQuay® HVAC system. Thermosystems Building System Solutions of Elmhurst, IL is the regional sales representative for McQuay HVAC compressors. We received a proposal from Thermosystems for the purchase of the two new compressors in the amount of $14,422.14. The proposal includes a core charge (return of old units) of $1,550.00 that will be credited back to the Village at a later date. There will be a $200.00 shipping cost added to the proposal to bring a second compressor from the factory. The Thermosystems proposal total will be $14,622.14.
We received a second proposal from Gustave A Larson for two factory rebuilt Copland compressors at a price of $20,019.86. Thermosystems pricing includes new compressors and they are a McQuay factory representative. Thermosystems new compressors proposal is well below the cost from Gustave A Lawson for factory rebuild units.
Building Maintenance staff will pick the new compressors up from the Thermosystems distribution center to avoid additional shipping charges. Building Maintenance staff will handle the installation of the compressors. Parts and fittings needed to install the new compressor will not exceed $1,000.00.
Replacing the two compressors will require a crane to remove and replace the old compressors from the roof at a cost of $1,375....
