Board approves $16,011.58 Johnson Controls compressor replacement for main gym
Summary
After discussion about age, warranty and safeguards, the board approved Johnson Controls' low bid of $16,011.58 to replace the main gym rooftop unit compressor and add a fuse block safeguard to prevent future motor losses.
Buildings & Grounds presented three quotes to replace the ACCU 4 rooftop unit compressor for the main gym; Johnson Controls submitted the low bid of $16,011.58, with higher bids from Tustin Group and Dark Construction. Board members questioned whether the failure resulted from construction issues or wear; facilities staff said two motors had been replaced earlier and the compressor being replaced is a pre‑existing unit with no warranty.
Bill described Johnson Controls' bid as including a protective fuse block system that would sacrifice a small fuse rather than allowing a motor to burn out, potentially saving thousands in motor replacement. The board moved and approved the motion "the Board of Education approves repairs and replacement of the compressor on the RTU for the main gymnasium by Johnson Controls at a cost of $16,011.58." The motion carried by voice vote.
