GENERAL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION i Cultural Resources Element Goal 1.0: Identify and preserve potential and listed historic resources, including buildings, structures, objects, sites, districts, and archaeological resources citywide. Policy 1.6 Promote the preservation of cultural and historical resources controlled by governmental agencies, including those related to City, School District, and other agencies. 7. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND Background Prior to Ruby's lease of the Santa Fe Train Depot building in 2009, an assessment of the building including the Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) system was performed. The assessment indicated that the aging Roof Top Units (RTUs) would need to be replaced in the near future, as well as other components of the HVAC system showed areas of deficiency in performance. One of the five (5) RTUs has been replaced since then, and in February 2013 a four -ton RTU was replaced and upgraded to a five - ton RTU, leaving three (3) older RTUs remaining. The fan motor for the air supply unit to the building was also replaced. Although this solved some problems, various deficiencies still remained. In January 2014, the Santa Fe Depot property ownership was transferred to the City from the Successor Agency. The Community Services Department is responsible for the maintenance of the site, including the building which houses the Santa Fe Train Depot/ Ruby's Restaurant. Throughout the summer of 2014, staff continually received feedback from the Ruby's management that the building would not properly cool during warm weather. Staff made repeated visits with the contractor who installed the equipment in an effort to find solutions to the problems, and each time only minimal and /or temporary relief occurred. After several attempts to identify the source of the inefficiencies with the cooling system, a preliminary air balance test of the building was conducted to determine whether the intake and exhaust air was sufficient for servicing the structure, and an assessment was conducted on the remaining RTUs. The results of the test showed that the remaining RTUs had significant deficiencies in both intake and exhaust throughout the system, a cracked heat exchange in one RTU making it inoperable to heat the building, and two (2) of the other RTUs were determined to be in poor condition and also needed to be replaced. Discussion Staff drafted a specification for the needed repairs and sent out a bid request to five pre - qualified HVAC companies. Three bids were received. The lowest responsible bid was received from Integrity Automated Solutions (IAS) in the amount of $46,400.00. Staff recommends an award of contract to Integrity Automated Solutions in the amount of $46,400.00, plus a 15% contingency of $6,960.00 for unforeseen circumstances, for a total not to exceed contract amount of $53,360.00. Upon Council approval and execution of the agreement, the contractor will begin work immediately on the project to repair the HVAC system of the Santa Fe Depot Building. The projected timeline for completion is 30 days. ITEM 03/10/15 8. ATTACHMENTS Draft Agreement Bid Abstract ITEM 03/10/15
