As Amended <br /> BURNER REPLACEMENT ? Ordinance on 151 Reading <br /> SPEC. NO. 10-015 ? IOmrplementinn Resolut oing <br /> 9 <br /> ? Set Public Hearing For <br /> CONTINUED TO <br /> FILE NUMBER <br /> CITY MANAGER <br /> RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> Award a contract for replacement of steam boiler burners to R.F. MacDonald Co. in an amount <br /> not to exceed $142,569. <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> The Police Administration and Holding Facility is approximately 505,000 sq/ft and utilizes two hot <br /> water heater boilers, operating continuously, to provide space heating throughout the building, as <br /> well as hot w <br /> ater to the four story administration building, the Holding Facility, the kitchen and <br /> laundry services. The existing hot water heater's burners are fueled by natural gas and heat <br /> water to a preset temperature. The hot water is then circulated throughout the building. The <br /> existing boilers are 13 years old and the burners must be replaced to meet new South Coast Air <br /> Quality Management District (SCAQMD) rule 1146.1, which goes into effect on January 1, 2011, <br /> requires that Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) does not exceed 9 PPM (Parts per million) with Oxygen, <br /> regulated at 3% of the entire firing range, and that Carbon Monoxide (CO) does not exceed 400 <br /> PPM across the entire firing range of the new burners. The regulations require the more efficient <br /> burning of natural gas and must pass a quarterly inspection by an SCAQMD certified inspector. <br /> R.F. MacDonald is the only vendor that provides a burner to replace the existing burners, without <br /> replacing the existing two Bryan Boilers. The Boilers are still in excellent condition and would be <br /> more costly to replace. The contract will provide for the manufacture, delivery, installation, as well <br /> <br /> as the testing of two existing non compliant burners. Due to manufacturing lead time, it is <br /> necessary to award this contract now, for purchasing in fiscal year 2010-11. To allow for <br /> unanticipated requirements, a five percent contingency has been included in the award amount. <br /> 22B-1 <br /> <br />
