Title
Budget Adjustment: Salt Palace's Request to Transfer $163,530 between Capital Projects for the DA Tank and Tube Bundle Replacement and the Brick Cap Replacement Projects.
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: At the Salt Palace, two pieces of equipment necessary to heat the building, have reached the failure point. To fund the repair, we propose to transfer a portion of the cost from another less exigent project, and the remainder from our Large Equipment project budget. The DA tank is responsible for removing undissolved oxygen in the feed water for our water tube boiler. Removing this oxygen lengthens the life expectancy of the tubes themselves and raises the temperature of the feedwater reducing operating costs. The current DA tank is over 25 years old and is in need of replacement to maintain correct operations of the boiler system.
This is a project we have requested in the past and has now reached the failure point. The tube bundles receive its water supply from the DA tank. They have deteriorated and also failed due to the reduced capacity of the DA tank. The tube bundles have been patched and "band aided" for the past few years but has also now failed. These components are necessary to heat the building. Without this repair we will not be able to provide heat to any of the three county facilities on campus.
We have also found we need $16K to cover the Final Facilities Expenses on a project to replace the Brick Caps at the Salt Palace South dock. The caps were crumbling and posed a safety hazard. We are proposing an additional transfer to cover these final unexpected costs.
