8 <br /> Travis Myren said it would be waterproofed from the outside, and any water that may <br /> come in from the ground, would be sealed in the basement. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said that building has a cinder block exterior wall, and <br /> insulation may be a good idea, as it leaks energy. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if there would be access to the basement from inside the <br /> building. <br /> Travis Myren said the basement access would be moved to the front of the building, and <br /> there would be no reason to go down there except for extreme maintenance. <br /> Commissioner Greene asked if the date when this building was built is known, and if the <br /> County built it. <br /> Staff is unsure, and will research. <br /> Chair Rich said this building is in the historic district, and the County is limited by the <br /> Town as to what it can do. <br /> Alan Dorman, Asset Management Services (AMS) Interim Director, came back later in <br /> the meeting and said the annex was constructed in 1968. <br /> Travis Myren resumed the PowerPoint presentation: <br /> • Heating Ventilation and Cooling Projects - $1,207,500 (p. 39) <br /> o Humidity Impact Study - $50,000 <br /> o Building Automation Controls Upgrade - $140,000 <br /> ■ Vendor Support Ends in 2019 <br /> o Motor Pool Facility—Add HVAC in Bays— 93,500 <br /> o Central Recreation HVAC Replacement— 165,000 <br /> o Hillsborough Commons Partial HVAC Replacement—88,000 <br /> o Mural Courtroom — HVAC Replacement— 32,000 <br /> o Seymour Center HVAC Replacement- $132,000 <br /> o Southern Human Services HVAC Replacement - $357,000 <br /> o West Campus — Design Services for HVAC Replacement— $35,000 <br /> o West Campus— Backup Cooling for Data Center- $30,000 <br /> o Emergency Replacements - $50,000 <br /> Commissioner Greene asked if any of these could be turned into solar projects. <br /> Travis Myren said staff would probably look at geo-thermal, and could conduct geo— <br /> thermal conductivity tests at the Central Recreation area. He said he would follow up with AMS. <br /> Commissioner Greene asked if the number of geo-thermal wells behind the Link building <br /> could be identified, and at what point these wells will pay for themselves. <br /> Travis Myren said staff will follow up with this information, but at the northern campus the <br /> geo-thermal system expects a 15-20 year payback. <br /> Commissioner Marcoplos said it would be interesting to know if any air sealing was done <br /> on the older buildings. <br /> Travis Myren said staff can investigate this. <br /> Commissioner Price asked if the age of these units is known, and if a renewable energy <br /> source would offer greater longevity. <br /> Travis Myren said staff can provide the installation dates, and if there are more <br /> sustainable solutions.
