Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: This request is to move budgeted funds for the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) fire suppression project to an HVAC design project at the same facility. The fire suppression project is being put on hold while the HVAC system is designed. Completing the design for HVAC before starting the fire suppression project will help avoid relocating or removing sections of a new fire suppression system later. SLCo Arts & Culture is responsible for maintaining major facility components, including HVAC.
The Utah Museum of Contemporary Arts’ HVAC design project will provide funding for architectural and engineering design. The current system is past its useful life requiring regular, costly maintenance, causing inconsistent heating and cooling, and resulting in frequent and extended down time and repair. The design will incorporate recommendations from a 2023 comprehensive Salt Palace/Abravanel Hall/UMOCA central plant study. Completing the HVAC design will produce construction documents to solidify a construction cost estimate.
