Chandler High to get upgraded HVAC controls; board approves $1.3M purchase
Summary
The board approved replacement of Chandler High School’s aging HVAC controls under a state contract (CTR62668), authorizing roughly $1.30 million for Niagara Framework controls and software. District expects annual energy savings and an APS rebate to help offset costs.
Chandler High School will receive upgraded HVAC controls after the governing board approved a purchase under State of Arizona contract CTR62668 at the Dec. 10 meeting.
Tom Dunn explained the current control system dates from the 1990s and many controllers are obsolete. The district recommended contracting Mesa Energy Systems through the state contract to supply Niagara Framework software, mapping, graphics and point-to-point integration; the purchase totaled approximately $1,302,974 on presentation (the motion recorded $1,302,009.74). Officials said the upgrade should reduce utility costs (district estimate ~ $109,000 annually) and qualify for an APS rebate (about $80,000).
Board questions addressed standardization and maintenance schedules; Mr. Dunn said the district is working to unify control front ends and will provide maintenance/replacement schedules at the upcoming planning session.
Vote
A motion to approve the purchase passed unanimously.
