Detention Center Chiller Plant: Request for the conversion of the seventeen year old HVAC System, comprised of 25 antiquated outdoor condenser units, and replace it with two state-of the- art high tech air cooled 200 ton chillers with 3 chilled water pumps, and evaporator coils for 22 air handlers. This will control the humidity which has forced the County to spend over $500,000 in 2016-2017 to manage the high moisture levels, conducive to both mildew and slippery floors. The engineered modifications to the facility will substantially reduce fungal and bacterial growth. The current system uses Freon 22, which is no longer in production. As a consequence, replacement condensers and evaporative coils are not readily available commercially. In the event of a breakdown, the County will be unable to provide humidity and temperature controls to entire sections of the Jail, which will impact the County’s compliance with the Florida Jail Standards and will lead to continued excessive remediation costs. The new system will have increased reliability, due to its redundant design, and will feature advanced electronic humidity controls which regulates speed, coil temperature, fresh air input volume, with electric heat strips in the evaporator insuring precise, dynamic, indoor humidity control. In addition, this action should reduce electrical costs to $50,000 a year from $100,000 a year, while the 1st year warranty will eliminate all major repair costs.
