8 <br /> 1 Travis Myren said this is as permanent as can be done for now, and an alternative <br /> 2 location for staff could be considered, but there is no space available at this time. <br /> 3 Commissioner Marcoplos asked if this would allow water in, or would it be sealed from <br /> 4 the outside. <br /> 5 Travis Myren said it would be waterproofed from the outside, and any water that may <br /> 6 come in from the ground, would be sealed in the basement. <br /> 7 Commissioner Marcoplos said that building has a cinder block exterior wall, and <br /> 8 insulation may be a good idea, as it leaks energy. <br /> 9 Commissioner Price asked if there would be access to the basement from inside the <br /> 10 building. <br /> 11 Travis Myren said the basement access would be moved to the front of the building, and <br /> 12 there would be no reason to go down there except for extreme maintenance. <br /> 13 Commissioner Greene asked if the date when this building was built is known, and if the <br /> 14 County built it. <br /> 15 Staff is unsure, and will research. <br /> 16 Chair Rich said this building is in the historic district, and the County is limited by the <br /> 17 Town as to what it can do. <br /> 18 Alan Dorman, Asset Management Services (AMS) Interim Director, came back later in <br /> 19 the meeting and said the annex was constructed in 1968. <br /> 20 Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 21 <br /> 22 Heating Ventilation and Cooling Projects - $1,207,500 (p. 39) <br /> 23 o Humidity Impact Study - $50,000 <br /> 24 o Building Automation Controls Upgrade - $140,000 <br /> 25 ■ Vendor Support Ends in 2019 <br /> 26 o Motor Pool Facility—Add HVAC in Bays— 93,500 <br /> 27 o Central Recreation HVAC Replacement— 165,000 <br /> 28 o Hillsborough Commons Partial HVAC Replacement— 88,000 <br /> 29 o Mural Courtroom — HVAC Replacement— 32,000 <br /> 30 o Seymour Center HVAC Replacement- $132,000 <br /> 31 o Southern Human Services HVAC Replacement - $357,000 <br /> 32 o West Campus— Design Services for HVAC Replacement—$35,000 <br /> 33 o West Campus— Backup Cooling for Data Center- $30,000 <br /> 34 o Emergency Replacements - $50,000 <br /> 35 <br /> 36 Commissioner Greene asked if any of these could be turned into solar projects. <br /> 37 Travis Myren said staff would probably look at geo-thermal, and could conduct geo— <br /> 38 thermal conductivity tests at the Central Recreation area. He said he would follow up with AMS. <br /> 39 Commissioner Greene asked if the number of geo-thermal wells behind the Link building <br /> 40 could be identified, and at what point these wells will pay for themselves. <br /> 41 Travis Myren said staff will follow up with this information, but at the northern campus the <br /> 42 geo-thermal system expects a 15-20 year payback. <br /> 43 Commissioner Marcoplos said it would be interesting to know if any air sealing was done <br /> 44 on the older buildings. <br /> 45 Travis Myren said staff can investigate this. <br /> 46 Commissioner Price asked if the age of these units is known, and if a renewable energy <br /> 47 source would offer greater longevity. <br /> 48 Travis Myren said staff can provide the installation dates, and if there are more <br /> 49 sustainable solutions. He resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> 50 <br /> 51 Justice Facility Improvements - $43,221 (p. 41) <br />
