Board approves $546,659 HVAC controls work at Annandale High School
Summary
The board approved replacement of AHS HVAC controls recommended after a Sourcewell bid and McDowell reuse assessment, with a contract budget of $546,659.15 to replace controls so systems will operate on compatible software.
Rick explained to the board that HVAC controls originally included in the chiller bid were pulled for separate procurement because roughly half the existing controls used a different software, creating communication concerns between systems. He said Sourcewell pricing and a McDowell assessment led to a recommended budget of $546,659.15 to replace the controls.
“After doing that, they came up with, this budget of $546,659.15,” Rick said. He told board members the figure was on the low end of earlier estimates (which ranged up to $1,000,000 depending on reuse of existing equipment) and that Sourcewell had been used to identify vendors and pricing.
The board considered the recommendation and approved the controls work (motion by Jen, second by Jenna); the chair called the vote and the motion carried. The board did not record a detailed roll‑call tally in the transcript.
Practical effect: The approved controls purchase is intended to ensure AHS HVAC components operate on a consistent control platform and to reduce future communication and maintenance issues. The district will proceed with contracting using the Sourcewell pricing and the McDowell assessment as the procurement basis.
