Engineers were previously appointed or selected from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design services for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) renovation and replacement projects at several schools. To facilitate completion of these projects during the upcoming summer, early acquisition of equipment with long lead times for delivery from the manufacturer is required.

Equipment specifications were developed by the respective engineers, grouped into separate solicitations by District staff and advertised on Vendor Bid. Multiple bidders responded to the solicitations (bid tabulations attached). The respective engineers have reviewed the proposed equipment for compliance with solicitation requirements. Award of contracts for HVAC equipment as indicated in the attachments is recommended.

The contract amounts being awarded are indicated in the attachment. Funds for equipment purchases are included in the local millage funds budgeted for the respective projects. Funds for chiller preventive maintenance and extended warranties will be included in future budget allocations of local millage funds.
