Waukesha approves Texas Air Systems for HVAC purchase amid anticipated price hikes

During the Waxahachie Called Board Meeting on December 19, 2024, a significant decision was made regarding the procurement of essential equipment for the district. The board discussed the need to secure a purchase order for new units in 2024 to avoid anticipated price increases in 2025. This proactive approach aims to ensure the district benefits from current pricing while planning for future needs.

The board received responses from two vendors, Texas Air Systems and Carrier, as part of their request for proposals (RFP). After reviewing the submissions, the board determined that Texas Air Systems provided a proposal that aligned more closely with the project’s requirements. As a result, the board recommended moving forward with Texas Air Systems for the purchase.

This decision is expected to streamline the procurement process and ensure timely delivery of the units as construction progresses at Waukesha Creek. The board's commitment to securing favorable pricing reflects a strategic approach to managing the district's resources effectively.

In addition to the main procurement discussion, the meeting highlighted the importance of planning for future needs and budget considerations. The board's actions demonstrate a focus on fiscal responsibility and long-term planning, which will benefit the community as the district continues to grow and develop.
