Board awards Hellgate High School HVAC upgrade to lowest responsible bidder
Summary
Trustees approved awarding the Hellgate High School boiler and controls upgrade to lowest responsible bidder; project to be funded with permissive levy dollars previously authorized by the board.
The board awarded a bid for HVAC upgrades at Hellgate High School, including replacement of boilers in the February addition and controls work, to the lowest responsible bidder and authorized acceptance of two alternates.
Facilities staff presented the engineering work and bid results. The lowest responsible bidder on the base bid was reported as $91,004.66; with two alternates the total comes to $115,001.54. Staff recommended awarding the contract to the low bidder pending successful negotiation and noted the work will be paid for with permissive levy dollars approved by the board last year.
The motion to award was made as a high‑school motion, the board voted and the recommendation passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the upgrades replace aged boilers and update controls in a high‑school addition, funded from a previously approved permissive levy rather than the general fund, allowing the district to address facility needs without a new operating levy.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract negotiations with the low bidder and schedule work; the board’s finance staff said the work will use levy funds approved previously.
