Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests approval to award a contract to Weiss Construction Co., LLC for the WTP HVAC Improvements - Phase II ($1,141,800.00).
The City of Ann Arbor (City) Water Treatment Plant (WTP) was originally constructed in 1938 and consists of several additions and outbuildings. These spaces are heated, conditioned and ventilated using several different air handling units and associated components and controls. Most critically, the unit that serves the environmental laboratory is required to maintain specific temperatures and ventilation for various water and wastewater samples needed for compliance and operational purposes.
