School board approves two Harold Fish contracts for HVAC service and boiler replacement
Summary
The RVB scribe board approved a $184,800 service agreement with Harold Fish Inc. for preventive HVAC maintenance and separately accepted a $1,189,000 bid from Harold Fish for boiler replacement, both vetted by staff and to be funded from bond proceeds where specified.
The RVB scribe board on Feb. 24 approved two separate actions involving Harold Fish Incorporated to address mechanical systems across district facilities. The board approved a service agreement that places Harold Fish technicians on campus three days per week to provide preventive maintenance on boilers, engines and controls, and separately accepted Harold Fish's low bid for a boiler replacement project.
Staff said the service agreement is intended to shift maintenance from a reactive posture to proactive, preventive inspections and repairs. A presenter told the board the contract includes a termination clause added after questions raised at the prior meeting. The presenter said the service agreement totals $184,800 for 1,200 hours and will be paid from the 2022 general obligation bond.
On the boiler replacement package, staff reported two bids and recommended Harold Fish as the low, responsible bidder. The board was told the HFI bid for the boiler project was $1,189,000; Creative Engineering participated in vetting the bidders. Following brief discussion about contract oversight and outstanding work under an existing Johnson Controls agreement, the board approved the boiler contract by voice vote.
Board members asked staff to review exactly what services Johnson Controls has delivered under its existing controls contract before any further action; staff said that review is underway and that Johnson Controls' work currently continues through December under a control-focused contract. The motions to approve both the service agreement and the boiler bid were moved and seconded from the floor and passed by voice votes.
The board did not provide a roll-call vote tally in the record; motions were reported carried by voice vote. The board packet, as summarized at the meeting, indicates the service agreement funds come from prior bond proceeds; no additional ongoing operating costs were reported.
The district's next procedural step is to finalize written contracts and attach pre-award conference documents and any agreed allowances as contract exhibits, per staff practice.
