Governing board approves $150,000 increase to HVAC maintenance contract to cover repairs and contingency
Summary
Chandler Unified’s governing board approved an increase of $150,000 to a state contract for HVAC maintenance and emergency services, raising the fiscal-year estimate to $750,000 to cover major repairs, preventative maintenance and a contingency for summer heat demand.
The Chandler Unified School District Governing Board voted April 23 to increase the district’s state contract CTR O49764 for HVAC maintenance, repairs and emergency services with MCOR Services by $150,000, bringing the year-to-date estimated expenditure to $750,000.
Chief facilities staff told the board the district initially approved estimated expenditures of $600,000 on June 12, 2024 and is now asking for the $150,000 increase to cover planned work and unpredictable emergency repairs as summer temperatures rise. The increase itemized several planned repairs including a boiler burner replacement at Chandler High School pool (approximately $5,000), a chiller wire-harness replacement at Fry Elementary (approx. $40,000), a secondary pump VFD replacement at Jacobson (approx. $6,000), and secondary pump EMS repairs at Rice (approx. $5,000). The staff presentation said roughly $94,000 of the requested increase would be held as contingency for emergency repairs or unexpected equipment failures.
Facilities staff and district leadership told the board that planned preventative maintenance occurs across the district’s buildings and that cost centers for HVAC work include both maintenance-and-operations funds and bond-funded capital where replacements qualify. The superintendent and facilities staff noted the district holds bond reserves from the 2019 bond program for major capital replacements and also seeks building renewal grant opportunities when available for expensive chiller replacements.
Board action: Mr. Heap moved to approve the increase and Ms. Modston seconded. The board approved the contract increase; the vote was recorded as unanimous on the action item.
Board members also approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting. That motion (moved by Ms. Modston and seconded by Ms. Mendoza) carried; board staff recorded one abstention by Ms. King on the consent vote.
