Summary
Leelanau County is soliciting proposals for engineering services to address operational issues with an existing EVAPCO cooling tower that serves 96 water-source heat pumps.
The current system suffers from heat recirculation, causing water temperatures to exceed 85 degrees and triggering equipment lockouts during high ambient temperatures. The County's primary objective is to evaluate replacing the tower with a central, closed-loop chiller system, though they will consider alternative cooling tower technologies that retain the existing heat pump system with minimal staff impact. The scope includes engineering design, evaluation of alternatives, and technical specifications for the replacement project. Proposals are due by October 29, 2025.
