Board Reviews UDA Proposals for Auxiliary Gym Design and HVAC Work; HVAC Scope Tied to Remaining Bond Funds
Summary
The board reviewed UDA proposals to begin design and oversight for a proposed auxiliary gym and to use remaining bond proceeds for HVAC repairs and trailer replacements, with an estimated HVAC scope of $3.0–$3.25 million. The board voted to accept the proposals as presented in the transcript.
The Tell City‑Troy Twp School Corp reviewed two proposals from UDA: one to initiate design, fitting and oversight for a proposed auxiliary gym and a second to evaluate and address major HVAC deficiencies using remaining bond proceeds.
Presenter described the first proposal as the necessary step to move the auxiliary gym project off the planning list and into the design phase and asked the board for a motion to accept that proposal. The transcript records discussion that the board or staff could schedule a work session for deeper review with UDA if desired; the motion to accept the UDA design proposal was put and recorded as carrying.
On the HVAC request, the presenter said this would not be new bond money but the remainder of currently available bond funds. UDA’s evaluation identified the largest HVAC concerns and, if approved, the project would also address replacement of trailers as needed. The presenter gave an estimated budget range for this work of $3,000,000 to $3,250,000 and noted the scope and sequence are included in the packet.
Board members were asked to approve the HVAC proposal so work can proceed; the transcript shows a motion and that the motion carried. The transcript does not supply the mover or seconder names nor a roll‑call tally; approvals are announced as carried. The presenter framed the bond refi elsewhere in the meeting as a timing advantage to offset revenue losses from property tax caps.
The board did not discuss contract language, timelines, or vendor selection criteria in detail on the recorded segments; presenter offered that staff could arrange a work session with UDA for more detailed review.
