BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background: The Director of Facilities and Maintenance is requesting a competitive bid be placed for the purchase and installation of one (1) new boiler for the Baldwin County Courthouse located in Bay Minette, Alabama. The existing boiler has to be reset at least once a day, or multiple times a day during warmer temperatures in order for the chiller to remain functional. The boiler must run year-round for the chiller to function. At some point, resetting will no longer work and it cannot be predicted when the boiler will completely fail. Staff recommends the Commission approve the specifications and authorize the Purchasing Director to place a competitive bid.
