Whiffed Human Services Center (REWHS) and Northem Human Services Center (NHSC); and 3) To request BOCC approval to issue Request for Proposal documents for HVAC system design work for replacement systems for REWHS and NHSC. BACKGROUND: On June 29, 2000, the BOCC awarded the proposal and approved contracting with Robson and Woese, Inc., Consulting Engineers to prepare a feasibility study that would identify the most economically efficient options for HVAC systems at both the Whiffed Human Services Center and the Northem Human Services Center. Since that time, the Public Works staff has worked with Robson and Woese on completion of the feasibility study. The feasibility study was originally to be completed by Fall 2000, however, one of the principal engineers involved in the project left during this period and the work was delayed significantly. The feasibility study has now been completed and has been attached to this abstract. Also attached to this abstract is a staff summary of the Robson and Woese report, including recommendations. No contract has been executed with Robson and Woese to complete the design of the systems at the Whiffed and Northem Human Services Centers. Based upon the staffing changes and time delays in producing the work, the staff recommends that a new RFP be issued for HVAC system design work for these two facilities.
