City of Sunny Isles Beach City Commission Agenda 18070 Collins Avenue, Sunny Isle Beach, FL 33160 (305) 947-0606 Phone (305) 949-3113 Fax AGENDA BILL REQUESTED ACTION It is requested that the City Commission adopt the attached emergency Resolution authorizing McQuay International to repair the main air conditioning chiller at the Sunny Isles Beach Government Center. BACKGROUND The air conditioning unit at the Government Center is approximately five years old. The unit is housed on the rooftop where it is exposed to coastal weather elements natural to our location which the unit was not made to withstand. As a result, the unit is deteriorating at a much faster rate than normal although a rigorous anticorrosion preventive maintenance program has been in place. At this time, two compressors inside the main chiller are not working and must be replaced almost immediately. Both compressors are under warranty (saving us approximately $44,000). In addition to the compressors, two new starter boxes (one for each compressor) need replacement because they are extremely oxidized and corroded throughout. Our out of pocket cost associated with the repairs is $16,330 ($8,800 for labor, $6,880 for materials, and $650 for crane rental). ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Immediate action is required to decrease the load on the one working chiller, so that we don't compromise its lifespan.
