Board authorizes design and bidding for Horsgood Middle School HVAC project
Summary
The board moved and approved design and bidding for locker-room HVAC upgrades at Horsgood Middle School, authorizing an $85,000 design fee to proceed; staff estimated the total project cost near $988,000 and said some related projects may come in under budget.
Facilities staff asked trustees to authorize moving forward with design and bidding for a locker-room HVAC upgrade at Horsgood Middle School. Staff described the recommended hybrid HVAC approach and said they engaged GMCN (design) and subcontractors (ICE, Tatro and Wallace Electric) to scope the work. The recommended next step was to contract with DMCN for design services at a fee of $85,000 to prepare the bid documents.
Staff estimated the full project would be roughly $988,000 (higher than an $803,000 original budget figure) but told trustees that other projects may come in under budget, reducing net impact. The board moved to proceed with the design/bid authorization; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Board members discussed possible optional scope items that could change cost (adding air conditioning to offices, boiler removal, or removing an old air handler for a deduct). Trustees asked for prompt bidding to allow summer construction where possible.
