a boiler steam heat system in the southern, two story portions of this building.

Weather Amnesty has a separate heat system in the north, one story portion of
the building. The water supply and sewer come from the two-story building. The
boiler system became clogged with an over-abundance of sediment in the system,
causing it to overheat and become unusable. We need to replace this system to
make it operational. We received two quotes, with the lowest being approximately
$50,000. W ith a 10% contingency, Commission approval in the amount of
$55,000 is requested.

federal funds for up to 80% of the project costs. This project will be the final of
