What Escambia County is buying

The equipment is needed to replace non-operational units that are beyond their life expectancy. The county aims to purchase this equipment in advance to align with an installation schedule planned for completion before November 15, 2026. The design specifies AERCO BENCHMARK 3000 Low NOx Boilers and TACO KS3007 vertical inline Pumps, matching equipment installed at the downtown Governmental Complex in 2026.
