District presents $4.8 million plan to replace aging HVAC at Jefferson Middle
Summary
District staff and consultant presented a plan to replace aging split HVAC systems at Jefferson Middle School, add hallway package units to reduce humidity, and clean up refrigerant piping. Estimated cost: $4,804,082; equipment lead time ~12 weeks; estimated completion 6–9 months after orders and approvals.
District staff and Perfection Group presented a proposal to replace aging split HVAC systems at Jefferson Middle School and to add hallway package units and a serving-line unit to address humidity and indoor-air issues. The presenter stated an estimated project cost of $4,804,082. The plan would replace roughly 38 classroom split systems and includes two larger units serving the auditorium (a 50-ton and a 7.5-ton unit noted in the discussion).
Matt Callahan of Perfection Group said the average age of the systems to be replaced is about 30 years and that some outdoor condensing units sit on pads that will be replaced and piping runs cleaned up. He said equipment lead time for smaller units is typically around 12 weeks and that a full project timeline to completion would likely be in the 6–9 month range after ordering and mobilization.
Finance staff told the board the district had roughly $9.7 million in unassigned fund balance; board members discussed funding and noted final approvals remain subject to county commission action and bid results. No final contract award was recorded in the meeting; staff said they would provide scheduling and procurement details if the board and county advance the project.
