II. AGENDA ITEMS
1. Courthouse HVAC Study Presentation from Keith Engineering
Jeremiah Bauer from Keith Engineering presented the preliminary findings on the study they had completed for the Courthouse HVAC. They presented two options, one would be a replacement of the chiller and boiler as well as the equipment through out the building. There would also some additional units put in the building in order to help better control the temperature of the building. The other option would be a 6 ton heat pump system which would remove the cooler and boiler and require whole new units as well as piping as it sends a refrigerant through the system instead of the water used currently. The first option, replacement of the chiller and boiler, would cost around $3 million. The second option, the new 6 ton heat pump system, would be around $2.8 million. The second option was an all at once approach would require the Courthouse to have no HVAC for at least a period of time as the system is switched out. The first option could be staged over a period of time. The second option would probably be more energy efficient as it could take the heat from one room to raise the temperature in another colder room. One downside of the second option would be that maintenance on it would not be able to be handled by local companies and would require someone from St Louis more than likely. The county had $900,000 set aside in American Rescue Plan Funds for this, which obviously was not enough to cover the projected costs. There would be additional discussion of funding possibilities at a future Finance Committee.
