Dr. Nantz mentioned that Troutman's HVAC will be rebid in January
or a little earlier.
Commissioner Stewart mentioned she had visited West Middle to see
if the recent rains had made any damage. Some leaking had
occurred. Pails were being used to catch some leakage.
Commissioner Boone said there were two issues -- the roof and the
HVAC. On Option I approximately $20,000 is for a facade. Out of
the life -cycle costs about $20,000 can be deducted. He stated he
didn't feel that what MBTV had proposed was a quick -fix. Boone
mentioned that he had noticed that the price of the metal roof
had decreased.
Dr. Nantz mentioned that the HVAC for West Middle had an old
Singer system and the company was no longer in existence. The
compressors have worn out and some retrofitting of existing
equipment is having to be done. They cannot obtain replacement
parts.
Commissioner Johnson asked if the condensing units were
chromatic. Did they cool water? Nantz replied that the system
that is in the old part of the building is called a single -pipe
California heat pump. it circulates either hot water or cool
water in the chilling tower through the system for each
individual room. There is an electric boiler that heats the
water in this section of the building. There are emergency heat
strips. The overall system is pretty much gone. The new part of
the building has a two -pipe system and this is recommended for
the older section. There is a manual switch used for cooling or
heating. The major cost will be in putting the piping throughout
the building.
Dr. Register emphasized that in prices, they were dealing with
estimates. He said that when it comes time to bid, they should
include alternates.
Dr. Nantz mentioned that the school system had found that rubber
roofs were not lasting as long as their warranty. Commissioner
Boone said the durability of rubber roofs depends on what type
they are and who installs them.
Commissioner Johnson mentioned he had contacted a friend (Mr.
Emmett Sullivan) and he had come up with a roof estimate of
$168,880. This estimate would compare most closely with Option I
of MBTV. If the County had unlimited resources Johnson said that
Option III would be feasible; however, there are so many other
needs at this time.
Long reiterated that the school system felt the best decision
would be to change the air conditioner and make a longer life on
the roof.
