Aurora East USD 131 approves multiple facilities contracts totaling about $3.1 million
Summary
The board approved a series of building and maintenance contracts — including HVAC, chiller work, roof replacement and tuckpointing — that together total approximately $3.1 million and additional resolutions for disposal of hazardous materials and sale of old band uniforms.
The Aurora East USD 131 Board of Education on Dec. 15 approved a set of facilities and maintenance contracts recommended by the Building & Grounds committee, covering interior door replacements, HVAC turnkey services, chiller rebuilds and maintenance, roof replacement and tuck-pointing across district sites.
The board accepted a $37,900 bid to replace interior soundproof doors in the high school band and chorus wing and rejected two lower bids as not acceptable for that scope. The board also approved a turnkey HVAC renewal through the Omnia Cooperative purchasing agreement with Trane Technologies for $910,000 and a separate East High School chiller mechanical rebuild for $309,007.50. Members approved a three-year preventative chiller maintenance contract at $495,000 and a roof replacement at East High in the amount of $808,818.50. The board approved a 2026 tuck-pointing contract for Bardwell, Brady and Fred Rogers at $542,700 and a resolution to dispose/recycle hazardous materials from the high school.
Taken together, the listed contract amounts total approximately $3,103,426.00. Board members confirmed these items had been discussed at the Dec. 1 Building & Grounds meeting and, where applicable, were included in the current budget; Mr. Allen confirmed most items were already budgeted and that the chiller maintenance contract would be new.
Board members asked for contract review by the district attorney and administration prior to final execution; administration said proposed contracts will go to legal counsel for redlines and protections for the district. Several motions passed on roll call with no recorded public opposition.
The district described these actions as part of a multi-year facilities effort to maintain operational systems and extend the useful life of aging equipment. The board scheduled follow-up committee meetings in January to monitor project timelines and implementation.
Next steps: procurement will proceed through required RFP/Omnia cooperative processes, legal review, and contract execution with contractors listed in the board packet.
