Background: The Historic Courthouse and West Square facilities share a heating and cooling plant. The heating plant consists of (2) 200 hp Cleaver-Brooks boilers, and (1) 100 hp Cleaver-Brooks boiler. The boilers are redundant to each other. While inspecting the boiler units, Building Services staff discovered numerous item’s on boiler #1 needed attention prior to sealing the boiler back up and refilling with water for the upcoming heating season. The Courthouse/West Square Building Manager contacted several boiler repair contractors for a quote to perform the needed repairs to boiler #1. Two vendors provided quotes to complete the refractory repairs to the boiler #1 firebox. The Building Services Facilities Director recommends contracting with Mechanical Technologies, Inc. for the refractory repairs to boiler #1 at a cost $12,380.00.

     NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors met in regular session, and that the Building Services Facilities Director is hereby authorized to contract with Mechanical Technologies, Inc for $12,380.00 to complete the boiler #1 refractory repairs to Courthouse/West Square heating plant;

     BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Buildings Services Facilities Director is hereby authorized to approve change orders for any potential unforeseen conditions and so long as change orders for each contracted portion of the project do not exceed 15% of the original contracted price and sufficient budgeted funds are available to pay the change order cost increases.

For consideration by the Sauk County Board of Supervisors on October 15th, 2019.

Respectfully submitted,

Sauk County Property Committee
