Board approves high-efficiency boiler purchase and discusses ongoing roof repairs
Summary
Board approved purchase and installation of a high-efficiency boiler and discussed multi-year roof and boiler repair needs, including previously budgeted roof spending and a priority to keep buildings dry, safe and warm.
The Nordonia Hills City School District board approved the purchase of an Encore RV0400 high-efficiency boiler for B. Holloway West (Northfield) and winter/other school installations at a purchase price of $18,280 (Roberts Mechanical) and installation cost of $22,400 (Jackson Comfort).
Board members used the agenda item to review the district's facilities priorities. Speakers said the district has about 13 acres of roofing with many roofs 25 years old and that the district had spent approximately $1.4 million on roof work over recent years. The board emphasized a shift from a "run-to-fail" model toward proactive replacement to avoid losing instructional time to heating or hot-water failures.
Board members noted local contractors with community ties provided competitive pricing and thanked facilities staff for inspections and planning. The motion to approve the boiler purchase passed on a roll-call vote recorded as unanimous. No additional large-scale roofing contract was approved at the meeting; board members said roofing work would continue as budgeted and prioritized.
