Body
SUMMARY:
A 20-year capital improvement (reserve) study was completed in Fiscal Year 2014/15 by Wannemacher Jenson Architects Inc. (WJA) and Delta Engineering for Baycare Ballpark (aka Spectrum/Bright House Field).
As a result of the study, CIP budgets for the maintenance and upkeep of Baycare Ballpark were established. The study identified the need to replace all of the air-conditioning units beginning with Phase I in Fiscal Year 2016/17 when the cooling tower and main pumps were replaced. On October 5, 2016, the City Council awarded a contract to Kenyon & Partners Inc. (KPI), of Tampa, Florida, to complete Phase I. On October 19, 2017, the City Council awarded a contract to Kenyon & Partners, Inc. (KPI), of Tampa, Florida, to complete Phase II.
The City issued Bid #16-0023-PR-BA for Phase III work to all qualified air conditioning contractors. Two bids were received, of which D-Mar General Contracting & Development, Inc. was the lowest most responsive bid.
This contract is for Phase III and will include the removal and replacement of units and systems (19) at the ballpark. The replacement units will be Energy Star Certified where applicable and meet the guidelines of Greenprint 2.0.
This contract is for a period of 90 Consecutive Calendar Days, to be complete prior to the Phillies 2022 Spring Season opening day.
Due to modifications to Clearwater Greenprint 2.0, a change order for $6,050 will be brought forward for approval from the City Manager for line items #1 and #2, to upgrade the units (7) from replacement in-kind to Energy Star Certified units, with a minimum efficiency rating of 15 SEER and 12 EER.
