| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
The existing roof top units were installed when the Bass Pro Shop was built in 2005. They provide the heating and air conditioning for this building. This series of roof top units came from the factory with inherent problems that began showing up after several years of operation. The housing and mounting brackets for some of the major components would break causing the refrigerant gas to leak and in some cases caused compressors failure. The heating sections of these machines also have very weak combustion gas blower assemblies that also fail every couple of years.
The failure rate of these units has been substantial over the years. We have experienced over 175 breakdowns and have spent almost $200,000 in repairs. To minimize our losses it has been determined that it is time to replace the roof top units with new more efficient models that are more reliable.
A public hearing was held and the plans, specification and form of contract were approved by City Council on October 9, 2017 at 7:00 pm. On November 9, 2017 at 10:00 am the City Clerk received bids for the Bass Pro Shop Roof Top Unit Replacement Project and on November 27, 2017, the City entered into a contract with MMC Contractors for the Bass Pro Shop Roof Top Unit Replacement Project.
MMC Contractors-$564,271
Funding for this project will be paid for by the Iowa West Foundation.
