Title
Budget Adjustment: Salt Palace Convention Center’s Request for New Capital Project - Heat Exchanger Maintenance (Budget Neutral Transfer $30,000 from Operations to Capital)
Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: The present heat exchanger in Hall 1 plant services the Hall 1-4 areas, various meeting rooms and common areas of the 1980's section of the building. In 2019 we had a mechanical contractor test and plug tubes that were leaking in hopes we could get a little more life out of the unit. They had to plug more than 20% of the tubes (10% is usually considered max) In 2020 this heat exchanger was to be replaced with a new heating system to include 2 heat exchangers, up-to-date building circulation pumps with VFD's, new steam reducing station and a new condensate return system. The funding that had been supplied for this project was pulled due to the COVID-19 shutdown. We limped through 2020 with the tube bundle but it appears that more tubes have developed leaks and it will not be able to supply heating for the above mentioned section of the building until this tube bundle is replaced. This adjustment is funded by transferring funds from our Operating Budget, making the adjustment budget neutral.
