I I I I I I I TO: FROM: RE: DATE: City Administrator Building Official Quotations on Energy Saving Items March 17, 1982 Quotations were received March 17, 1982 until 2:00 P.M. for six items that would help conserve energy at the City Hall. The response to the bids was ve~y poor with only one bidder on some of the items. The fo]]ow~ng are the items and the various bid amounts with my recommenda t ions: Item #1 - Storm Panels - Rear of Lobby Area There was only one bidder on this item which was received from Heat Mizer Glass, Inc. Their bid was in the amount of $784.00. They also submitted an alternate, which in my opinion would probably be more practical. It cost considerably more $1,616.OO but would not require removal and clean- ing as it is thermal-add-a-pane which would give us a permanent tripple glazing. They also submitted a second alternate for the door which has only a single glazing. THey would convert this to an insulating glass for $415.O0 while this does seem expensive, it is also an area where there is considerable heat loss and would, therefore, probably be quite practical. Item #2 - Complete Air Lock - Main Entrance Again, there was only one bidder, Heat Mizer Glass, Inc. for this item. The bid, as we expected was quite high because of the amount of glass required to maintain the aesthetics. The total bid is $3,160.OO and I don't think this is practical. However, in future years with higher energy costs, it will in all likelihood pay for itself. It's just that it will take a long period of time. Item #3 - Replace Thermostats in Fire Barn There was two bidders for this item with Lehn Electric being low in the amount of $239.00. THis was to install four thermostats in the fire barn area which amounts to $59.75 each. There is a fifth thermostat in the hose tower that should also be replaced which would be a total price of $298.75. The second bidders bid was $300.00 for the replacement of four thermostats.
