Las Cruces Public Schools awards Hermosa Heights roof and HVAC contract to ESA Construction
Summary
The board approved an award to ESA Construction for roof and HVAC replacement at Hermosa Heights Elementary. Funding is split 40% PSFA, 60% LCPS; the roof will be TPO with a 20‑year warranty and HVAC was added after bond design.
The Las Cruces Public Schools Board of Education approved an award to ESA Construction for roof and HVAC replacement at Hermosa Heights Elementary School during its July meeting.
The project was advertised as RFP No. 24-25-09P and closed June 24, 2025. Three vendors submitted responsive proposals; the evaluation committee recommended ESA Construction of Las Cruces. The board approved the consent-agenda item by unanimous vote.
The New Mexico Public School Facilities Authority (PSFA) will fund 40% of the project and LCPS will cover the remaining 60%, district staff said. The architect’s specifications call for a thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roof, and the district confirmed the roof will carry a 20-year warranty. District staff told members the construction solicitation was released before the systemwide sustainability policy took effect, so sustainability upgrades were not required in the current contract.
Board members also discussed funding origins. Staff said Hermosa Heights’ roof was included in the 2021 GO bond but HVAC replacement was not; when design work revealed failing HVAC units, the district added HVAC replacement and used supplemental funds to cover that cost rather than increase the GO bond estimate.
Travis (purchasing manager) presented the award recommendation and said the solicitation ran 36 days after a May 19, 2025 advertisement. Staff noted 50 vendors viewed the solicitation and three submitted proposals. The district’s architect and facility staff will manage the technical specifications and construction oversight.
The consent motion that included the RFP award was moved by President Court and seconded by Board Member Frank; the motion passed unanimously.
