Background
~~
The existing air conditioning system at the Fort Worth Aiuseum of Science and
History is o.ld and incapable of maintaining proper humidity and temperature
within the facility. Some of the chillers and components are over 30 years old
and have exceeded their normal service life. The effect of this air conditioning
€~ef~y~ 4 bEen very detrimental on the art objects, artifacts and specimens
maintained by the museum. In fact two years ago, the museum was experiencing a
severe mold growth problem, which required the contrasting of services to clean
and treat these items. Several items were physically damaged beyond recovery.
To correct this air conditioning deficiency, as well as to accomplish several
other items of work around the museum, the museum received over $1,000,000 in
private foundation grants. The original concept involved the installation of a
new cooling tower on the west roof of the museum, however, further evaluation by
the project engineers, Carter & Burgess, Inc., determined that it would be more
practical to replace the deteriorated chiller units as well. Therefore, plans
were prepared for installation of the chiller units on the roof.
During the evaluation of the roof structure and components, it was noted that
the roof area, where this equipment is proposed to be located, is in poor
condition with several leaks occurring in interior spaces. When this new equi;p-
ift~-~°t i~ ~,,~,1>~3_ it will present serious problems for replacement of tlhe
roof in the future. It was, therefore, determined that a new roof should be in-
stalled concurrently with the new air conditioning equipment. A new roof system
similar to the one installed on City Hall has been evaluated and recommended for
this system, additionally, it would include a special ballast system to minimize
damage to the membrane during equipment maintenance activities. The current
estimate for the replacement roof is approximately $60,000.
The work on the air conditioning system and roof must be coordinated and it is
desirable that the work be completed. before the cooling season arrives. Them=_-
fore, the City 'staff 'recommends that a change order be issued to the a:ir
conditioning contract,which will be awarded on March 2, 1984, to include the
necessary roof work. The staff also recommends that the museum receive a supple-
mentary appropriation~of $45,000, representing 75% of the estimated cost to
replace the roof. Representatives of the Museum of Science and History have
advised City staff that ,they will raise the remaining $15,000 from privar_e
sources.

Sufficient funds are available in Capital Projects Reserve Fund 10-010001-00, to
