RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract for replacement of steam boiler burners to R.F. MacDonald Co. in an amount
not to exceed $142,569.
DISCUSSION
The Police Administration and Holding Facility is approximately 505,000 sq/ft and utilizes two hot
water heater boilers, operating continuously, to provide space heating throughout the building, as
well as hot w
ater to the four story administration building, the Holding Facility, the kitchen and
laundry services. The existing hot water heater's burners are fueled by natural gas and heat
water to a preset temperature. The hot water is then circulated throughout the building. The
existing boilers are 13 years old and the burners must be replaced to meet new South Coast Air
Quality Management District (SCAQMD) rule 1146.1, which goes into effect on January 1, 2011,
requires that Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) does not exceed 9 PPM (Parts per million) with Oxygen,
regulated at 3% of the entire firing range, and that Carbon Monoxide (CO) does not exceed 400
PPM across the entire firing range of the new burners. The regulations require the more efficient
burning of natural gas and must pass a quarterly inspection by an SCAQMD certified inspector.
R.F. MacDonald is the only vendor that provides a burner to replace the existing burners, without
replacing the existing two Bryan Boilers. The Boilers are still in excellent condition and would be
more costly to replace. The contract will provide for the manufacture, delivery, installation, as well
as the testing of two existing non compliant burners. Due to manufacturing lead time, it is
necessary to award this contract now, for purchasing in fiscal year 2010-11. To allow for
unanticipated requirements, a five percent contingency has been included in the award amount.
