Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution will authorize the replacement of the ventilation system at the Fleet Services garage by A.W. Kuettel & Sons, Inc.
The current system was designed to support the building’s original purpose as a steel storage warehouse. The system does not have the capacity to remove the level of pollutants emitted by the vehicular and welding operations in the building today. As a result, pollutants accumulate in the work environment to unacceptable levels. The 29-year-old system is also several years beyond its recommended replacement age.
The project will result in a ventilation system designed to meet current codes and safety standards for the building and its operations, and will reset the life cycle on the ventilation equipment, reduce maintenance costs, and improve energy efficiency by utilizing added controls. Life safety concerns will be improved by introducing fresh air and removing exhaust and welding fumes.
Purchasing issued an invitation to bid on April 6, 2017, and received two bids. A.W. Kuettel & Sons, Inc. was the lowest responsible bidder as indicated in the bid tabulation below:
