Renovation of a municipal facility in Framingham, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.

This project is included in the City of Framingham fiscal years 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of October 23, 2023, further details regarding design and construction have not been identified. A firm timeline for construction has not been established; however, funding is allotted to fiscal year 2024, but mostly to 2026. A detailed scope has not yet been released. The proposed project will result in the replacement of aging rooftop units at the DPW Headquarters with new, highly efficient HVAC equipment. The project is divided into two phases beginning with a project design for the rooftop. Proposed work through this project initially entailed the implementation of variable frequency drives (VFDs) on existing equipment with the purpose of achieving efficiency gains. Given the age and worsening condition of the existing R22 rooftop units, a recent assessment of the units identified that more cost effective operational and efficiency improvements could be made from replacing the equipment altogether. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
