Hi Jason,

I hope this message finds you well.

Could you kindly direct me to the appropriate contact on your team regarding an upcoming HVAC replacement project for the City Centre Condo Association? The mechanical engineers have prepared a preliminary narrative to initiate the process.

To facilitate our decision-making, we would appreciate a detailed scope of work, a cost estimate, and a proposed timeline. We are currently soliciting bids from multiple companies and look forward to including your proposal.

Thank you very much for your assistance.

Best regards,

Candace Fleming

Hi Candace,

It appears that the engineers are looking at 3 options. 

Option 1: 2 new RTUs tied into the existing duct systems with updates to the controls for electronic vs the existing pneumatic. 

Option 2: 16 furnaces with AC condensers and new ducting to each suite for individual control and equipment ownership. 

Option 3: 1 new RTU with new boilers, VAVs, heat coils, duct modifications and boiler supply/return lines to the 

Option 1 and 2 have already been budgeted in the document attached. I would say that we may be looking at a 5% increase from the previous budget with tariffs and year to year inflation. Additionally, new equipment had updates from the EPA that changed the refrigerant and some internal components to be more environmentally friendly which contributes to the 5%. 

Option 3 is probably going to be the most costly option because it’s a lot more piecing together of some old and some new. Without more detailed drawings from the engineers, it difficult to identify exactly what that modification needs to happen. I do see their drawing of how they plan to modify it but its very preliminary and does not outline any sizes for the new ducts or pipe sizing for the boiler manifolds and supply/return lines to the VAV boxes. While it does lay out the equipment, that is only half of what is needed in a project of this size. Any budget I do provide will have minimal confidence in accuracy and we would prefer seeing the drawings completed before going down this route. 

I would say all of the options are probably going to be somewhere in the $600k-700k range after factoring all the sub contractors like electricians, structural and roofers. All of the options are a big chunk of money and whatever you choose, is going to become the buildings HVAC infrastructure for the next 30-40 years so at that point, I would select the option that you feel is going to meet your needs the best vs looking at cost because cost is a almost a wash across the board. Personally, option 2 has the most benefit to how your building operates with individually owned suits and it also gives a lot of redundancy. For example, if a blower fails in these larger rooftops, it is very expensive, it is not in stock so now it is an emergency and expedited shipping will be extensive. If a blower fails in a furnace, it is not an emergency because it only services 1/16thof the building, nothing is going to freeze and repair costs are lower. Also, the engineer lays out having to provide electrical from each suite to the furnace to determine how much electricity it is using but we also have options that can be used to monitor electrical usage and provide monthly reports on how much each suite used for cooling and heating. You would input the KW cost into the software and it would tell you how much of the total electrical cost was associated with each piece of equipment.  

Let me know if you have any questions and we would be happy to meet further as this project progresses. 

Thank You,
