The design and construction also included two Heating , Ventilation , and Air Conditioning <br /> ( HVAC ) Units . The current HVAC units are nearing the end of their useful life . The swimming pool <br /> area cannot operate effectively without both units functioning to ensure proper outdoor air <br /> exchange and maintain appropriate humidity levels within the pool building . One of the HVAC <br /> units underwent significant repairs to extend its lifespan by another four (4 ) years . However , the <br /> other unit can no longer be repaired due to obsolete parts and high maintenance costs . <br /> The recommended solution is to replace one ( 1 ) unit now and consider funding in the upcoming <br /> Capital Investment Plan ( CIP ) to replace the second unit in a future fiscal year. <br /> In December 2024 , Orange County published an Advertisement for Bids , and on January 9 , 2025 , <br /> the County received three ( 3 ) sealed bids from Mechanical Contractors . <br /> The construction contract cost to complete the work as designed for the HVAC unit replacement <br /> is $ 614 , 000 and is proposed for award to Comfort Systems , USA . <br />
