District maps summer ESCO HVAC work, paging-system replacement and gym wall repairs
Summary
Facilities staff detailed summer HVAC unit replacements under an ESCO, a plan to modernize the high‑school paging/mass-notification system, a booster-pump control replacement, and a replacement of the Evergreen gym dividing wall; several items are scheduled for summer work with board approvals sought in March or April.
Facilities Director Mr. Fabrizio and operations staff briefed the committee on multiple facility projects slated for summer work.
The district is moving forward with an ESCO project (energy‑savings contract) to replace HVAC units and perform related fire‑alarm work. Fabrizio said work will begin in areas B and C at the high school and that equipment deliveries are on track for May with a planned start in June after students leave; to avoid damage to newly paved student lots the district has set a drop‑dead date to place heavy cranes before paving begins. Fabrizio noted the crane lifts involve large ballasted weights and careful scheduling: "This crane is gonna weigh 308,000 pounds with, ballasted weight. So it's a lot of weight." He said the vendor (CM3) and district have contractual language to require remediation for any damage.
Facilities staff presented a proposal to replace the high‑school paging and mass‑notification system with a modern platform (staff referenced Singlewire Software during vendor demonstrations). Fabrizio said the new system would convert legacy analog speaker/paging infrastructure to an IP-based control box, enable 9‑1‑1 alerting and integrate with classroom displays and sensors, and would include a three‑year software license. Committee members asked whether the system would work with existing visitor management (Raptor) and how the service and licensing model would be managed; administration said it will confirm vendor integration and return with specifics.
Other facilities items noted: a CoStars-listed price was mentioned for replacing the Evergreen gym dividing wall (transcript figures appear unclear and should be confirmed; administration said the new wall would include a man door to allow easier passage), replacement of a control module for a sprinkler booster pump (CoStars price cited as $24,002.35) and remediation of areas affected by locker removal at the high school (estimated remediation work in late June). The playground and auditorium projects were also in procurement or early implementation phases.
Fabrizio asked the committee to move projects forward for board consideration in March and April so summer work can be scheduled. Administration emphasized coordination across food service, custodial and academic schedules to limit operational disruptions during the summer work.
