r993 <br />NOVOV - 9 BOOK 90 FIAGE 965 <br />General Services Director Sonny Dean explained that the second <br />boiler is in poor condition and should be replaced. He commented <br />that staff is researching ways to prolong the life of this <br />equipment, because the average life expectancy of this type of <br />equipment is about 10 years whereas the jail boilers have lasted <br />only about 5 years. <br />Administrator Chandler commented that calcium in the water <br />corrodes the boilers. If we purchased a water conditioning system <br />it would eliminate the calcium problem, but the cost of purchasing <br />and maintaining a water conditioning system might be prohibitive. <br />He advised the Board that these boilers will be replaced with <br />boilers similar to those in Phase I of the Jail, which are still <br />functioning after about 8 years. <br />Chairman Bird asked if there was a maintenance program <br />available for descaling the boilers. <br />Director Dean responded that staff has contacted Brevard <br />Boiler about contracting for such a program. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Eggert, the Board unanimously <br />authorized the repair of 2 water boilers and <br />replacement of the convection steamer at the Jail <br />for a total cost of $15,700.00, and approved Budget <br />Amendment 004, as recommended by staff. <br />TO: Members of the Board <br />of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Joseph A.
