6.1 Report from Public Works Director - Approve purchase and installation contract with
Trane Company of Rowland Heights, CA for the replacement of the existing chiller at the
Orange Police Facility.SUMMARY:
On Friday, August 4th the HV AC system at the Police Department failed. Low-volume
household air conditioning units were brought in and placed at critical locations (911 Dispatch,
Watch Commander, Records, and the Computer Center), while system diagnostics took
place. A temporary 300-ton AC unit was installed to replace the two failed compressors
and to cool the police facility for normal operations. The City has received a proposal from the
Trane Company of Rowland Heights, CA to provide and install the necessary and appropriate
equipment, piping, valves, etc to equip the police facility in a fashion to be fully compatible with
the ultimate Police Facility HV AC upgrade as shown in the 2006-2007 Capital

unit will fit in with the City's new energy control system. The City also has a standing contract
with Magnetic Electrical, so will not have to bid out for the concrete and electrical
work.Mayor pro tem Cavecche noted that the City does not have to bid this project because it is
under a General Services Agency

was noted that the City does not receive a rebate for this. Councilrnember Smith also wanted
to ensure that this new unit was absolutely
necessary.Mr. Von Schimmelmann stated that the unit being replaced is the original unit for the
Police building and runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are internal cracks in the system
and can not be
rebuilt.Mr. John Sibley, City Manager, stated that the reason for the Special Meeting is there is
