Approve a consultant services agreement with IMEG dba TTG Engineers to provide professional mechanical, plumbing and electrical engineering consulting services for Hydronic Boiler Replacement at Fresno Yosemite International Airport in an amount not to exceed $76,800 (Council District 4)
Body
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council authorize the Director of Aviation to execute a consultant agreement with IMEG dba TTG Engineers (IMEG) to provide design and related engineering services for replacement of the Hydronic Boilers (Project) at the Fresno Yosemite International Airport (FAT) Terminal.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Airport currently utilizes 10 hydronic boilers to provide hot water for heating the Terminal, which are nearing the end of their useful life. The proposed consulting agreement with IMEG will provide professional engineering services necessary for design, permitting, bidding and construction administration of a new Terminal Boiler System.
BACKGROUND
In 2002, the Airport installed a boiler system in the Terminal basement to provide heating for the entire 175,285 square foot Terminal facility. The boiler system, which was technologically advanced at the time it was installed, consists of 10 hydronic boilers operated on a rotating basis with a minimum of four in operation at any given time to meet the heating demand for the Terminal and to maximize efficiency. Of the 10 hydronic boilers that are part of the existing system, four are now out of service. The system is near the end of its useful life and a replacement system is planned prior to winter of 2019. The design work under the IMEG consulting agreement is the first step in the replacement process. The new boiler system will be designed for a 20 year life with improved life cycle costs and energy efficiency.
