Argo CHSD 217 details roughly $830,000 in planned facilities and equipment work, including HVAC replacement and team room conversion
Summary
The finance committee reviewed multiple capital projects: a proposed E-building AHU replacement ($492,182), BAS controls replacement ($116,000), demolition ($69,500), exterior door replacement ($26,509.71), four production copiers ($50,475.40) and a girls varsity team room repurposing (in-house labor ~ $75,000). Combined listed estimates total about $830,000.
The Argo CHSD 217 finance committee reviewed a set of facilities and equipment items that together represent substantial near-term capital and maintenance spending.
Major items presented included replacing the E-building air handling units with two Trane 20-ton modular AHUs and associated pumps and parts, with a listed cost of $492,182.00. The district also identified a BAS (building automation system) controller replacement under the OMNIA cooperative contract with a Precision Control Systems estimate of $116,000.00, and a demolition/asbestos-abatement contract for the property at 6320 W 74th Ave with Master Guys Demolition for $69,500.00. Additional listed items were replacement of Exterior Door #3 (ABS via GSA cooperative) for $26,509.71 and replacement of four production copiers for $50,475.40. Separately, the district described repurposing room 106 into a girls varsity team room, citing material/vendor estimates and an approximate in-house labor and plumbing cost of $75,000.00.
The committee noted that some work will be completed in-house by Buildings & Grounds rather than relying heavily on outside vendors. The BAS controls project was presented to be executed via the OMNIA Cooperative Purchasing Contract 02-125, and several vendors and quotes were cited in the minutes. The district did not record final contract awards at this finance meeting; the items were presented for review and appear on the committee agenda for follow-up.
Why it matters: these projects address aging infrastructure and ongoing operational needs (HVAC, controls, doors, copiers) and include a combination of in-house work and cooperative-contract procurements that will affect near-term capital spending. The combined total of listed estimates is an approximate aggregation of figures provided in the minutes and should be treated as an estimate rather than a finalized contract total.
