Dear Mr. Brule:
Proposals for the above mentioned project were opened on July 6, 2023 by Paul Koelle,
Municipal Facilities Manager and I with the attached results. After careful review of the
proposal that was received, it is determined that RZ Associates is a qualified bidder able
to complete this project, as they have current and previous projects with the Town and
ate the most flexible. This award is for the design consultant and administration aspect
of the project.
I therefore respectfully seek the Board’s approval to award the contract to RZ
Associates for $120,000.00.
Funds will be available in line# 20536-57848 Library HVAC Upgrade.

Re: Waterford Public Library - Design and Construction Contract Administration HVAC
Replacement and Modernization
Bids were received for the Design and Construction Contract Administration HVAC Replacement
and Modernization for the Waterford Public Library. The Town received a (1) bid for these
services,
The design consultant, RZ Associates was the only firm that submitted a bid. This firm is
currently one of the Town’s On-Call Consultants for work such as this. They are currently
working on several projects for the Town at the Police Station and the Community Center.
in consultation with Gary Schneider, | have reviewed their proposal and fee, and find it complete
and reasonable for the effort needed for this project.
i would recommend the award of the project to RZ Associates. | would also recommend that
this be placed on the December 5, 2023 Board of Selectmen’s agenda.

Christine,
When the town put out a request for proposal for on-call engineering, multiple firms applied for the MEP
{mechanical electrical, plumbing) position. After careful consideration, the panel selected RZ associates, they are now
the town's MEP, on-call engineering firm. RZ associates have completed, or are currently working on approximately a
dozen jobs for the Town of Waterford, The firm Is flexible and has excellent communication for any concerns that the
library may have while this project Is ongoing. The Department of Public Works strongly recommends RZ associates.
Thank you,
Paul Koelle

Utilizing LEED and Sustainable MEP Systems
RZ Design Associates embraces incorporating sustainability, energy efficiency and renewable
resources into design projects and takes a practical approach when proposing LEED-driven
MEP and Structural systems. We use the LEED rating system as a design and planning tool,
not an end goal.
Early in the design process we identify the financial impact of LEED design strategies to
determine if the project's budget can accommodate these strategies. If not, we explore other
creative cost-effective techniques for sustainable MEP and Structural systems that achieve
the desired LEED rating without straining your project's construction budget. RZ Design
Associates has LEED-certified consultants on staff who can provide sustainable LEED design
and assistance with the LEED certification process if that is your goal.

Visualize the Building Process: Building Information Modeling
Using state-of-the-art technologies, our designers can create detailed 3-D digital represen-
tations of a building's proposed systems. Building information modeling (BIM) illustrates all
stages of a project's building process, allowing everyone involved in the project to identify
and correct potential design issues before construction begins. BIM enhances collaboration
between design and construction professionals, and typically creates savings in a building's
construction and operation costs.

RZ Design Associates was retained in September 2019 to evaluate options
identified in a prior study to replace an 80-ton, direct-refrigerant geothermal
heat pump system with either conventional DX-split systems or a water-
source heat pump system and to implement the design of the system
aption, once chosen.
During the evaluation process, RZ Design Associates identified
implementation issues not previously considered with the options and
identified two additional options, one being a closed-loop, vertical well
geothermal heat pump system that was ultimately selected by the Town to
implement.
RZ Design Associates sub-contracted a geothermal consultant to assist in
the design of the borefield based on the building heating/cooling load
analysis that we performed.
The project included the installation of thirty-five (35) geothermal wells at a
depth of 500 feet, twenty-one (21) geothermal split system heat pumps, a
variable-speed high-efficiency pumping package, non-metallic fusion-
welded polypropylene condenser water piping system and modifications to
the existing Alerton direct digital control systems, Project Cast:

RZ Design Associates was retained to prepare a request for proposal to
replace the existing Trane control system in the building that was installed
in 1999. The project was being funded by a grant, so the cost of the project
had to fall within the limit of the grant funds.
The base bid scope of the project included integration of the five (5)
existing Trane packaged rooftop units (that were also installed in 1999)
and the thirty-eight (38) zone dampers associated with these units.
The project scope also included integration of the control of the existing
steam boiler plant that has been operating on stand-alone controls. This
scope was bid as an add alternate to the base bid scope.
Bidding was favorable and the Library was able to contract for the base bid
and alternate bid scope of work. Project Cost: $94,000.00)

RZ Design Associates was retained in April 2020 to assess the HVAC
system at the Salem Free Public Library. The Town was experiencing
excessive utility costs to heat and cool the building in addition to costs for
multiple emergency service calls to replace catastrophic leaks in the
hydronic heating piping system.
The result was a report that identified not only deficiencies with the HVAC
system, but also the building envelope. Recommendations for corrective
action and systems replacement were provided along with opinions of
probable construction cost,
As the Town needed to immediately address the issues identified in the
report, we assisted them with contracting with a construction company to
implement the recommendations in our report prior to the start of the next
heating season.
