SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Award of Contract for Electrical Equipment (Light Fixtures) Required for Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Renovation at Lockhart Elementary School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On October 5, 2010, the Board appointed VoltAir Consulting Engineers, LLC to provide design services.  To facilitate completion of the HVAC plant replacement project at Lockhart during the upcoming summer, early acquisition of electrical equipment (light fixtures) is required due to their long lead time for manufacturing.

Electrical specifications for light fixtures were developed by the design firm.  District staff solicited bids via Vendor Bid.  Three bidders responded to the solicitation (bid tabulation attached).

The design team has reviewed the proposed equipment for compliance with solicitation requirements.  Award of contract for the light fixtures to Wesco - Tampa, the firm providing the low bid meeting the requirements of the solicitation, is recommended.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)

Funds for electrical equipment purchases in the amount of $56,085 are included in the Local Millage funds budgeted for the project.
