FROM: Giovanni Santana, Superintendent of Parks & Recreation

SUBJECT:
Phillips Park David & Karen Stover Visitor Center facility rooftop HVAC unit replacements
PURPOSE:
Replacement of one roof top unit located at the David & Karen Stover Visitor Center located at Phillips Park.
BACKGROUND:
A rooftop unit (RTU) is a class of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
equipment that contains all the components in one package and is typically mounted on the
roof of a building.
The RTU at the Phillips Park Visitor Center facility, located at 1000 Ray Moses Dr. was originally installed during the initial construction of the building. The unit has exceeded its recommended service life, requiring more frequent maintenance, and has become increasingly less reliable.
DISCUSSION:
The City solicited Bid 24-087 "Phillips Park Visitor's Center Rooftop Unit Replacement" and received five(5) bids. On August 14th, 2024, the bids were publicly opened and Youngren's Inc, of Aurora, IL submitted the lowest bid of $62,986.00.
The bid documentation, bid tabulation, aerial maps and bid submissions are attached.
This project was subject to the local preference ordinance, however the lowest, responsible bidder was an Aurora vendor so it made no impact on the decision.
Monies to satisfy the cost of this project are budgeted in accounts 340-4440-451.38-05 and 101-4440-451.38-05.
Youngren's Mechanical Inc. has no outstanding debt with the City of Aurora.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not replacing the RTU at the Visitor Center would be detrimental to continued use of the building especially in the harsher summer and winter months.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
We recommend that the resolution authorizing replacement of the RTU at the Phillips Park Visitor Center, be approved
