Chiller Installation

While working as Business Administrator at Palmer Memorial Episcopal Church in Houston, TX, I was the key personnel to coordinate all team members involved in the new chiller install. I gathered a special committee composed of experts from our parish (engineers, facility experts, and finance experts) to be part of this team. We hired an outside company to assist us in evaluating the needs of the building and the specifications required to put out a Request For Proposals (RFP). I was the main point of contact for this outside vendor. Once we had the specifications, I worked with the contractor to write the RFP and post it to a list of vendors. I was again the point of contact for collecting the bids, reviewing and compiling the responses and presenting it to the special committee to make the final determination. Once the winning bid was chosen, I worked with the vendor to create a timeline for the project and coordinated with the groups using the facility to let all parties know when special accommodations needed to be made while the project was taking place. I ensured all parties adhered to the timeline, met safety requirements, and stayed on budget. The project was successfully completed with the removal of the old chiller system and installation of two new 1-ton chillers.
