Title
Resolution to Approve a Best Source Construction Contract with Robertson-Morrison, Inc. for the Fire Station 1 Emergency Operations Center HVAC Installation ($33,202.03)
Memorandum
This memorandum and resolution requests the approval of a best source construction contract to Robertson-Morrison, Inc. to install HVAC at the Fire Station 1 Emergency Operations Center, including a ceiling cassette unit along with VVT dampers and controls (EOC) in the amount of $33,202.03.
Prior to serving as the City's EOC, the room was designed as a storage room for the City Clerk's Office. The EOC has a video wall that emits heat and the EOC will need to comfortably fit large groups of people during an activation.
Three HVAC contractors have been on site to evaluate a solution, all of which recommended a ceiling cassette unit. The first contractor could not purchase a unit due to a manufacturer shortage, and the second contractor did not offer the same comprehensive installation services as Robertson-Morrison, Inc.
We recommend approval of a construction contract with Robertson-Morrison, Inc., who was the HVAC contractor hired to design and build the current HVAC system during the Fire Station 1 Renovation. Their history with the current system uniquely qualifies them. Robertson-Morrison, Inc. complies with the requirements of the Non-discrimination, living wage and prevailing wage ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: Funds for this purchase are available in the approved FY25 Fire Services Budget.
