County Commissioners Approved Bid For Courthouse Boiler
County Commissioners Approved Bid For Courthouse Boiler
On Monday, March 18, Courthouse Supervisor Greg Rawlings revisited the subject of needed boiler replacement for the courthouse facility with Greenwood County Commissioners. As he discussed further research into the high efficiency option, Rawlings noted advantages including space savings, which would afford room for needed maintenance equipment. Rawlings shared that annual assessment of the high efficiency unit was quoted at $500700. He noted that he believed the high efficiency unit would save money, but this would run the risk of something going wrong and creating the need for the company to come out to assess the boiler. The High efficiency, 2 boiler system was quoted at $144,546 and the approximately 80% efficiency, 4 cast iron boiler system was quoted at $140,694. Rawlings noted that he would rather work on the lower efficiency unit, but noted the advantage of the high efficiency system. He added that what he liked about both options was the facility would have a backup in case an issue is experienced. Rawlings added that he is willing to learn about the high efficiency unit, noting that he did not have experience maintaining these. 03/19/2024 11:00 PM
