Trane works with organizations like OMNIA Partners to help public agencies, including those across Oregon, with simple and cost-effective procurement solutions. Through its collaboration with OMNIA Partners Public Sector (National IPA and U.S. Communities), Trane offers Oregon county and state government agencies with streamlined purchasing options and reliable procurement resources.
Work completed in the St. Louis, Missouri metropolitan area illustrates how Oregon communities can benefit from cooperative purchasing. In 2023, Trane partnered with four cities—Des Peres, St. Ann, St. Charles, and Wentzville—to enhance their building infrastructure using the best value procurement offered through OMNIA Partners.
For example, St. Ann, home to about 13,000 residents, had a long list of costly repairs and necessary improvements to their community facilities. To manage the modernization of each building without impacting taxpayer dollars, the city turned to Trane as its single, turnkey provider for project execution.
Collaborating with the city leaders, Trane’s local building experts identified the following building upgrades and maintenance plan:
- New rooftop units
- Exterior and indoor lighting
- Tracer® SC+ building automation systems
- Annual maintenance and repair service agreement
They were able to bolster savings through the cooperative purchasing contract with OMNIA Partners. This offers best–value, pre-negotiated pricing and streamlined equipment, controls, and service procurement directly from Trane – reducing the cost to fund, execute, and manage the project.
St. Ann City Administrator, Matt Conley, comments on the project: “We’ve significantly improved the efficiency of the buildings throughout our entire city, improving the comfort and indoor air quality for staff and residents alike; We are also seeing over $21,000 in energy savings annually.”
Communities in Oregon can leverage the same Trane OMNIA Partners contract to accelerate infrastructure modernization, manage taxpayer resources responsibly, and enhance building performance.
Trane’s full portfolio of HVAC systems, controls, building services, and energy solutions is available through the OMNIA Partners contract—making it easier for Oregon’s public-sector leaders to achieve cost savings and operational improvements.
