Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $317,995 contract to replace an old chiller system at the Wilson Building Annex 21. This building houses county services that residents use regularly. The new Carrier 155-ton chiller will keep the building cool and comfortable for both workers and visitors. This matters because reliable air conditioning is essential in Houston's hot climate. When county buildings have working systems, employees can serve residents better. The upgrade also saves taxpayer money over time through better energy efficiency. The contract went to CFI Mechanical through a cooperative purchasing program with Harris County Department of Education. This program lets the county get better prices by buying with other government agencies. The project shows how Harris County maintains its buildings to serve our community. Residents benefit from comfortable spaces when they visit county offices for services like voter registration, property records, or court business. The Commissioners Court meets regularly to approve contracts like this one. You can watch these meetings online or attend in person at 1001 Preston Street in downtown Houston. Contact Mary Cesar at the county purchasing office if you have questions about how county contracts work or want to learn about doing business with Harris County.
County buildings need working air conditioning to serve residents well in Houston's hot weather. When these systems work properly, you get better service when visiting for voting, court business, or property records. Energy-efficient systems also save taxpayer money.
