Title
Rec Admin HVAC Improvement Project - Trane Turnkey
History
The Orland Park Recreation Administration (“Rec Admin”) building was constructed in 1982, and originally operated as a Police Department facility. Currently, the building houses approximately seventy-six (76) Village staff, including a recent influx of fifty (50) Athletic Operations admin and maintenance staff members. While several facility improvements have recently been completed or are nearing completion, including the ADA Ramp Replacement project, life safety and security upgrades, masonry repairs, and general office improvements, many other important building systems, including mechanical and HVAC systems, are original to the building.
As noted in the "2021 Facilities and Operations Master Plan", the existing Air Handling Units (AHUs), which provide the main source of heating and cooling for the building, are beyond their American Society of Heating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) serviceable life expectancy. Ongoing use of these AHUs will result in further decreased efficiency and reliability, and increased repair costs.
As such, the Public Works Department reached out to Trane, Inc., which offers “Turnkey Contracting and Engineering” HVAC solutions utilizing OMNIA Cooperative Contract (#3341). It should be noted that this same approach was utilized for the “Main Pumping Station Facility Improvement Project” in 2022, which came in underbudget and on time. Engineers from Trane subsequently visited Rec Admin with Public Works Facility staff members to inspect the building’s mechanical and HVAC systems. Trane proposed a single-phase approach to this project as outlined in the Trane Executive Summary titled “Recreation Administration Building - HVAC System Retrofit”.
This project would be completed in a single phase, and include the replacement of the two (2) existing Air Handling Units (AHUs) with high efficiency air-cooled chiller, thermal storage tanks, air handle unit and VAV ...
