Title
Building HVAC Controls - Proposal
History
In 1989, the Village Center consisting of the Village Hall, Civic Center and the Franklin Loebe Center was constructed. An automated energy management system (hardware and software) was installed to control all of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in each of the facilities. Since then the Sportsplex, Police Station and Cultural Arts Center buildings have been added to the system. This system allows staff to remotely monitor system operations 24 hours a day and notifies staff of system malfunctions and equipment failure. The energy management system also allows the programming of an automated night set back scheduling to cut down on energy costs during non-peak times.
The HVAC energy management system installed at the Village buildings is maintained by Automatic Building Controls, LLC of Rolling Meadows, Illinois (ABC). ABC designed and installed a proprietary control system, Alerton/Distech Technologies Facility Management System with custom BACnet/Tridium software. Over the years ABC has added many new devices to the HVAC energy management system along with upgrades, all customized to fit the village’s control demands in sequences designed by ABC engineers.
As facilities were added to the energy management system, separate service agreements were created with ABC. Staff requested a single proposal combining the various service agreements for the maintenance of the system. The proposal is for a three year period with no increase in the service plan for 2018 and 2019. There is a three percent (3%) increase for the third year, 2020.
Staff has reviewed the proposal and recommends accepting the three-year service plan agreement.
On May 21, 2018, this item was reviewed by the Public Works Committee and recommended for approval and referred to the Village Board of Trustees for consideration.
