REGULAR AGENDA
1. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT – JAIL CHILLER REPLACEMENT PROJECT
Facilities Management is requesting authorization to proceed with a project to replace the Jail ’s 24-year-old
Chillers in the amount of $600,000. During recent preventative maintenance work metal fragments were
found in the oil and filters, an indication of critical problems with the bearing. The replacement chiller
should be more energy efficient, require less ongoing maintenance, use the l atest environmentally friendly
refrigerant and may qualify for approximately $30,000 in DTE rebates. The new chiller s will be bid out by
Purchasing. Work will be performed by in-house staff and contracted vendors. T his project is included in
the Capital Improvement Project-Utilities Section. Funding of $600,000 will be transferred from the
CIP/Building Improvement Fund to the Project Work Order Fund as outlined in the resolution.

Copies of the Proposal Evaluation Scoring Matrix and a memo from Mr. Hold sworth were provided
explaining Facilities recommendation of vendor selection. Mr. Holdsworth explained that unit price,
availability and track record were taken into consideration . If a vendor could provide the units to the County
in a timely manner to avoid the cost of utilizing temporary chillers as the weather warms it would result in
current savings of $25,000-$30,000. Projected energy savings over the long -term are difficult to quantify.
Commissioner Greimel asked to see present value studies on future project requests.
Taub moved approval of the attached suggested Resolution. Supported by Potts.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Woodward absent.
