Board reviews contract to assess HVAC systems and controls across district buildings
Summary
The district presented a proposed engagement with Premier Energy Systems to assess aging HVAC equipment, estimate replacement cycles and explore a unified control overlay for easier districtwide operations; the contract would deliver condition reports and cost estimates, not immediate work orders.
District staff described a planned contract with an HVAC firm to inventory and assess the condition of HVAC equipment at older schools and to produce estimates for replacement and potential control‑system standardization.
The presenter explained the district is nearing the time when large rooftop HVAC systems at older facilities (for example, Cabell Mill and Huntington High School) will require significant investment. The proposed agreement with Premier Energy Systems would ask the vendor to inspect equipment; estimate remaining useful life and replacement costs; and evaluate whether an overlay control or consolidated programming approach could standardize access for district technicians across different vendor systems. Staff said the current situation leaves technicians working with several distinct control systems, complicating remote diagnostics and maintenance.
Speakers stressed this phase is an information‑gathering contract to determine feasibility and costs; actual replacement or overlay work would require separate procurement and board approval later. The board included the contract as part of the consent agenda and approved the consent items by voice vote.
