The existing, natural gas fueled boiler is located in the basement of City Hall and has proven to be very
reliable in heating the working spaces of the building for many years. Recently, the boiler has developed
a small leak in the heat exchanger. Staff has been advised the heat exchanger parts have corroded, and
replacement parts are no longer available from the manufacturer.
The project includes removing and disposing of the existing boiler, installing a new, more energy efficient
natural gas fueled boiler in the same location, and performing some minor modifications to the boiler
exhaust system. Once all of the equipment is procured, the work will be performed over a weekend that
includes a Friday City Hall closure in order to minimize impacts to employees and customers.
Specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is
November 5,2014. The project estimate is $55,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: Replacing the existing City Hall boiler with a more efficient boiler will reduce
heating costs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award
