Replace the chiller unit design of the heating portion of the HVAC system at the multimodal transit hub skagit station in mount vernon WA located in skagit county owned by skagit transit

The Federal Transit Administration awarded Skagit Transit $184,381 on August 19, 2026, under the Buses and Bus Facilities Formula program (CFDA 20.526) to replace the chiller unit and design a new heating unit for the HVAC system at the Multimodal Transit Hub Skagit Station in Mount Vernon, Washington.

The award funds purchase and installation of a new HVAC chiller unit and design-only services for a replacement heating unit. The chiller replacement and associated system components are intended to extend the useful life of the HVAC system by ten years. The heating unit design will enable Skagit Transit to determine the building demolition and reconstruction work required to remove the existing heating unit from the attic and install a replacement. The project maintains safe indoor temperatures for transit staff, community members using Skagit Transit fixed-route service, Amtrak and Greyhound passengers, and residents and businesses accessing the station's community room.

The period of performance runs through September 30, 2027. No subrecipients pass through funds under this award.
