The request of staff for City Council is to review and consider for approval the attached final pay request in the amount of $25,522.80 from Air Mechanical and Service Corporation for the removal and replacement of the Library’s HVAC system.

As City Council may recall, the August 16, 2019 New Port Richey Public Library Renovation Project schematic design submittal included mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection recommendations in addition to the proposed building renovations.  The recommendation for the HVAC system included in the report and in this project was the removal and replacement of the existing 1990 air handler, the removal of the existing 2006 55-ton chiller and two (2) pumps, and the installation of a 70 ton chiller and new pumps with variable speed drives.  Redundancy for the chiller was accomplished by incorporating two (2) compressor units and the redundancy for the air handling unit was accomplished by incorporating a two (2) fan system.  Finally, the existing control system was removed and replaced with a KMC system capable of remote operational adjustments, inter-net alarm setting features, and self-diagnostic capabilities.
