The design team and public works staff have worked through several ongoing issues with identifying failed zone control valves and their effect on the building's control system. The project scope has now grown from the intention of replacing one boiler and a few control points, to replacing both boilers and restoring all zone controls to working condition. The facility and existing equipment were constructed in 2002. We typically hope to get 25 years out of our commercial boilers and are failing a little short in this case. The additional cost to continue running the equipment in this manner along with the increased risk to the facility due to long lead times on equipment replacements were the determining factors in addressing these concerns now. The boilers specified for the project are the same make and models used in the Vintage Point project as well as in current use at the Alaska Regional Fire Training facility. Staff is familiar with working on these, and the equipment's newer technology has provided proven energy savings. The Airport Manager and Public Works Director are coordinating with our FAA counterparts to establish a grant to assist with paying for these improvements. The Operations Facility houses equipment of significant cost and importance to the City. Completion of this project at this time is in the best interest of the City. Council's approval is respectfully requested.
