Board awards consumer‑science renovation and tentatively approves HVAC upgrade; district opens two HVAC bids
Summary
The board awarded a $280,100 contract for the Teton High School consumer‑science room and tentatively approved a contractor for a high‑school HVAC upgrade pending final price confirmation after receiving two HVAC bids and a separate controls bid.
The Teton County District Board awarded the consumer‑science room renovation at Teton High School to Westfork LLC for a base bid of $280,100 and tentatively approved Harris Mountain West for the high‑school HVAC upgrade, with a final award to follow price confirmation.
Consumer science award: Business manager Diane Hansen read the single bid during the public bid opening: “Consumer science, renovations. The base bid is $280,100. Westfork LLC.” Westfork’s bid included subcontractors for plumbing, HVAC and electrical; the district said the work should be complete by Aug. 15. The board voted to award the consumer‑science renovation to Westfork LLC; the board record shows the motion carried unanimously.
HVAC bids and tentative award: The district opened two bids for HVAC construction plus a separate controls vendor bid. The controls bid from Premier Energy Controls was read at $68,716 and described as the conduit/wiring and controller work for air‑handling units and gym controls. A contractor bid from Holmes Murphy Construction (Jason Curtis) listed a construction amount of $1,184,796 with a $29,000 alternate for larger motors. The board then took a tentative action to approve Harris Mountain West for the HVAC upgrade with a caveat: the district will confirm the contractor’s final price and scope before executing a final contract. Board members instructed staff to have the contractor verify that the bid covered all construction documents and requested the final price be presented at the next board meeting.
Funding and schedule notes: The consumer‑science work will be funded from the district’s 10‑year facilities plan and by grant money earmarked for appliances and equipment. The HVAC work includes a requirement that the contractor substantially complete the project by Aug. 15, 2025; the board approved a tentative award so staff could confirm equipment lead times and full scope prior to final award.
Votes: The consumer‑science award passed with an aye vote (board recorded unanimous approval). The HVAC action was a tentative approval with the board voting in favor pending final verification.
