“T
he project at Building 89 highlights the
technical, execution and contract administrative skills that McKenney’s can bring to the table to support the missions and mandates facing government installations across the Southeast.”
McKenney’s began by assembling a highly qualified team composed of in-house engineers, service personnel and controls technicians to conduct a one-day comprehensive assessment of existing conditions, operations and functionality of the Building 89 HVAC systems, including pressure testing the coils. It wasn’t easy. With such a short schedule and with so much system damage it was difficult to pinpoint the most likely failure scenario out of all the possibilities. McKenney’s produced a detailed report of the findings and made several recommendations on equipment and control system repairs, operator training and long-term maintenance strategies to ensure system integrity over the long term. The report also included cost estimates for the recommendations offered. Time and budget constraints only complicated things for the base. In order to get the repairs
done quickly to allow the building to continue being productive, the base negotiated directly with Willis Mechanical, a member of the SBA 8(a) program and McKenney’s official SBA-approved protégé team partner. Repair of the heating and cooling system, the air handler unit coils and controls became a turnkey design/build project. As prime contractor, our protégé performed over 50 percent of the work with McKenney’s performing the remainder. Not only did McKenney’s offer a turnkey solution including analysis, recommendations, budgetary cost estimates, design, controls, execution, commissioning and owner training, we also met our responsibilities to our protégé, Willis Mechanical. This mentor-protégé partnership provided the contract vehicle to allow
WRALC to bring Building 89’s HVAC system back to acceptable operation. According to the Director of Government Facilities at McKenney’s, “The project at Building 89 highlights the technical, execution and contract administrative skills that McKenney’s can bring to the table to support the missions and mandates facing government installations across the Southeast. Our plan is to continue to serve them from a position of expertise and knowledge.”
