Background and Discussion:
Engineers & Consultants Inc. was approved as the prime consultant to begin negotiations for the design and construction for replacement of all air handling units and electrical lighting fixtures at the existing building at 701 West Baker Rd Baytown, TX 77521. The evaluations include a review of existing building conditions, producing as-built drawings reflecting existing site conditions, cost estimates for recommended design and construction approach and emphasizing architectural design elements that support an efficient and cohesive operational environment for the end users.
Expected Impact:
The approval of this agreement would allow the design firm Engineers & Consultants Inc. to conduct the necessary site assessments, complete design phases and cost estimates to accommodate the increasing demands for mechanical services at the existing facility and improve overall functionality. These enhancements will help modernize the facility, improve overall efficiency, and strengthen service delivery to the surrounding community.
Alternative Options:
The alternative option for this project would be to continue functions with existing mechanical units that may not be able to accommodate the increasing user demands, are old and obsolete, and will break and cause additional resources to be applied to fix and maintain aged systems.
