FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: MAY 7, 2024
SUBJECT: REPLACEMENT OF CONVENTION CENTER ROOFTOP HEATING AND
AIR CONDITIONING UNIT
RECOMMENDATION: Consider the purchase and installation of a replacement rooftop heating
and air conditioning unit at the Convention Center from Donaldson Air
Conditioning and Heating.
FUNDING SOURCE: Upon approval, funds will be available in the Capital Projects - CVB Fund
not to exceed $19,300.
BACKGROUND: The Grapevine Convention Center hosts numerous trade shows and
events throughout the year bringing in over 100,000 guests into the
community. The building is over 30 years old, therefore some facility
maintenance areas require immediate attention. Recently, one of the roof
top units (RTU) that provide heating and air conditioning to the
Champanel Room stopped working. Upon review, it was determined that
the unit, which was originally purchased in 2004, is no longer repairable
and needs to be replaced.
Bids were received for the purchase and installation of the replacement
RTU from three vendors and reviewed by staff. The quote received by
Donaldson Air Conditioning and Heating would be the best product and
pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
