Hey, Carrie Kelley.
00:03 - 00:08
Zach With Harris here, we've met a couple months ago
00:08 - 00:11
talking about the H v a c at b B
00:12 - 00:13
J on dso.
00:13 - 00:16
I wanted to create a informational video that you could
00:16 - 00:18
pass on to the board at the next meeting.
00:19 - 00:24
They might help simplify case and everything that we we
00:25 - 00:26
looked at during our initial investigation.
00:28 - 00:30
Um, so I once again want to thank you for
00:30 - 00:32
allowing me to come into your facility.
00:32 - 00:36
Uh, and we'll kind of go from here, eh?
00:37 - 00:39
So the first question who's Harris Harris Company?
00:40 - 00:42
Uh, national mechanical provider.
00:43 - 00:46
We've been working across the street over Providence specific for
00:46 - 00:47
the last 50 years.
00:48 - 00:51
Um, so I understand the piping in the HBC of
00:51 - 00:52
other facilities.
00:52 - 00:55
So way try and go in and understand what's going
00:55 - 01:00
on. Facility healthcare being very strong area of our focus,
01:00 - 01:03
we'll take a look at some of the findings we
01:03 - 01:04
found in September.
01:05 - 01:08
A ZX well, as go through the cost of what?
01:09 - 01:11
What tze cost so far and then kind of path
01:12 - 01:13
forward for the group.
01:16 - 01:18
Uh, first of all, a couple of the trends that
01:18 - 01:19
we saw hot and cold areas throughout the facility.
01:20 - 01:23
Try and figure out how to dial those in a
01:23 - 01:23
little bit more.
01:24 - 01:26
There's a lot of solar gain in the atrium, so
01:26 - 01:29
there's a couple systems that could be potentially installed or
01:30 - 01:34
just, uh, reconfigured a little bit on then, of course,
01:34 - 01:38
the building has got various age equipment, so having the
01:38 - 01:41
right plan to path moving forward for that will help.
01:45 - 01:46
Right now, As we can see, this is in the
01:46 - 01:48
first floor kind of in the waiting area.
01:49 - 01:55
Um, there were two of these indoor air handlers installed
01:55 - 01:56
for a V.
01:56 - 01:56
R F system.
01:57 - 02:01
And so the re the reason this was done, it
02:01 - 02:03
was to get enough air cycles for the A S
02:03 - 02:07
C. So they have enough air turnover on DSO.
02:08 - 02:10
They re sized the duct work in order to get
02:10 - 02:14
the capacity to do that, but had to install these
02:14 - 02:17
two units, um, and the lobby in order.
02:17 - 02:21
Thio supply enough heating and cooling for the lobby.
02:22 - 02:24
I think there could have been a different approach done,
02:24 - 02:29
uh, to be honest and re sizing happened on a
02:29 - 02:31
piece of equipment that was 20 years old.
02:31 - 02:33
You have capabilities to put a bigger piece of equipment.
02:34 - 02:38
And instead of that which would have taken over and
02:39 - 02:42
supplied the entire area and got the air changeovers if
02:42 - 02:45
we were to upgrade that piece of equipment so you
02:45 - 02:47
could talk a little bit more about that at a
02:47 - 02:51
later date, Okay, A couple of things that we want
02:51 - 02:56
to make sure that you're aware of is that ashtray
02:57 - 02:59
with organization that's in charge of indoor air quality.
03:00 - 03:02
Uh, mechanical contractors recommending.
03:03 - 03:06
Now Cove it has hit over 19 has hit burger.
03:07 - 03:09
13 filters be installed in all common areas.
03:10 - 03:13
Um, I wanna look at the HEPA filters that you
03:13 - 03:16
have installed your facility and then also humidity levels, which
03:17 - 03:21
we have the ability to track would be something we
03:21 - 03:21
wanna look at as well.
03:22 - 03:27
We look at the bird Merv rating on the filters
03:28 - 03:29
installed at your facility.
03:30 - 03:31
There moved eight filters.
03:32 - 03:35
We'd wanna upgrade those, but also make sure that it
03:36 - 03:36
can Handover of 13.
03:38 - 03:41
When I looked at the HEPA filters, the filter rack
03:42 - 03:47
had either never been installed or or it had fallen
03:48 - 03:48
apart at some point.
03:49 - 03:51
Anyways, there's an air gap at the top, and this
03:51 - 03:53
is what supplies the heir to the A S C
03:54 - 03:56
s. Oh, there's air that now has a gap around
03:56 - 03:59
it. And it's not going through the HEPA filter, which
03:59 - 04:00
captures 99% of the particulates.
04:03 - 04:06
Thes were up in the attic area.
04:06 - 04:08
Filters hadn't been changed in a little while.
04:09 - 04:09
Certainly past.
04:10 - 04:11
Do something we'd want to pay attention to.
04:14 - 04:16
We then come to the electrical issue.
04:17 - 04:18
Bill was able.
04:19 - 04:22
Thio, help me locate You know the units where they
04:22 - 04:22
serve. What?
04:23 - 04:27
What? It's kind of what they what what purpose they
04:28 - 04:30
had. And as you can see, there was this heater
04:31 - 04:31
that had gone out.
04:32 - 04:34
Thistle is inside one of the units that have been
04:34 - 04:36
taken apart a ZX.
04:37 - 04:39
You can see we believe it kind of became an
04:39 - 04:44
issue because the wires on this disconnect were loose u
04:44 - 04:46
m causing that failure.
04:47 - 04:52
Um, we also saw that there were three phase, you
04:52 - 04:55
know, to 43 phase, uh, disconnects that were not locked
04:55 - 04:55
out and tagged out.
04:56 - 04:57
So they were open and exposed.
04:57 - 04:59
Wire out the in the open.
05:00 - 05:03
Um, certainly not only an electrical hazard, but a fire
05:04 - 05:06
hazard and something we want to pay attention.
05:06 - 05:09
Thio moving forward these things should always be locked out
05:09 - 05:10
and tagged out.
05:10 - 05:13
Um, it's just a major safety concern that we want
05:14 - 05:15
you to be aware of.
05:17 - 05:19
The next portion was the plumbing leak that we saw
05:20 - 05:21
in the garage area.
05:22 - 05:25
Um, the drywall in the garage was wet.
05:26 - 05:30
And upon further investigation, um, it turns out it wasn't
05:30 - 05:33
a plumbing leak from, like a man sewer liner.
05:33 - 05:33
Your waistline.
05:34 - 05:39
Um, it actually was from the HPC condensate line here.
05:40 - 05:41
And so this was dripping on.
05:42 - 05:48
Dhe inevitably ended up causing Cem moisture buildup and eventually,
05:49 - 05:51
some growth that you can see here.
05:52 - 05:54
We die a ghost and took a look at that
05:55 - 05:57
bill and ended up basically sanding the floor.
05:58 - 05:59
Thio, get rid of any of that.
05:59 - 06:01
But that was the that was the unit we had
06:01 - 06:04
mentioned earlier that should have been replaced the very beginning.
06:04 - 06:06
Instead of re sizing the doctor work.
06:06 - 06:09
Um, because now you have a 20 year old unit
06:09 - 06:17
that inevitably leaked, causing this buildup and so 20 years
06:17 - 06:19
old, it should have been replaced with a larger unit
06:19 - 06:20
to get that air turnover.
06:20 - 06:26
Instead of changing the ductwork and installing the to the
06:27 - 06:29
two indoor heads for that many split in the lobby
06:29 - 06:36
area, Um, path forward that we could see, certainly making
06:36 - 06:41
sense. Right now, the units in red are the ones
06:41 - 06:41
that should be replaced.
06:42 - 06:43
The one I had mentioned earlier.
06:44 - 06:47
It's a 10 ton unit that serves the surgery area.
06:48 - 06:50
We believe that could be upsides to a 15 ton
06:50 - 06:53
unit. Take care of any of the air changeovers necessary.
06:54 - 06:57
Um, but, I mean, you're looking at, you know, $50,000
06:59 - 07:03
there to replace that, uh, between you know, that one.
07:04 - 07:06
You know, that's 26 then the other one that's in
07:06 - 07:09
the the roof upstairs, fourth floor, which is also another
07:10 - 07:10
26 with the heater.
07:11 - 07:13
The rest of it looks pretty good.
07:13 - 07:16
You guys are up to date, um, controls or kind
07:17 - 07:19
of the next piece after after these two years.
07:20 - 07:24
But, um, I want to give you that information as
07:24 - 07:29
well. As you know, a potential for our quarterly price
07:29 - 07:33
would be right around $11,000 on dhe.
07:33 - 07:36
This would do quarterly maintenance on all the HBC equipment
07:36 - 07:38
actually doing the maintenance.
07:39 - 07:44
Um, portion way also have what's called our platinum program,
07:44 - 07:48
which is a fixed budget program where we'd start.
07:49 - 07:50
And we want to dial this in a little bit
07:50 - 07:52
more with your team and understand the costs.
07:53 - 07:57
Uh, over the course of the last several years, but,
07:57 - 08:01
you know, $30,000.35,000 dollars should be able to cover our
08:02 - 08:02
platinum program.
08:03 - 08:06
It would include the replacement of those two units, um,
08:06 - 08:14
that we had talked about in the previous slide, so
08:14 - 08:18
I hope the information provided was was helpful.
08:19 - 08:21
If you have any questions at all, please feel free
08:22 - 08:22
to reach out to me.
08:23 - 08:25
Um, and we can continue our discussion.
08:26 - 08:31
My phone number 360305 7732 My name is Zak.
08:31 - 08:32
I worked with Harris Company.
08:33 - 08:35
And Yeah, I just wanna help you maintain your facility
08:36 - 08:41
because it's gonna got a couple of years without the
08:41 - 08:44
proper service that the industry expects.
08:45 - 08:46
So thanks so much again.
08:47 - 08:48
And, uh, soon
