Harlandale ISD seeks $229,327 chiller replacement for Kingsborough Middle using Bond 2022 proceeds
Summary
District staff requested approval to buy a replacement chiller for Kingsborough Middle School from Texas Air Systems via BuyBoard contract #720-23 for an estimated $229,326.60 from Bond 2022 proceeds, citing a unit more than 20 years old operating at under 50% capacity and causing outages and costly repairs.
Mister Flores presented a request to purchase a chiller system for Kingsborough Middle School using BuyBoard contract number 720-23 from Texas Air Systems at an estimated cost of $229,326.60 funded by Bond 2022 proceeds.
Flores told trustees the campus chiller is more than 20 years old, has inconsistent temperature control and was operating at less than half capacity; on several occasions the unit had been shut down for repairs, affecting staff and students. The district’s maintenance evaluation found outdated components and recurring repair costs, and staff said replacing the unit would be more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Trustees praised staff for conservative fiscal management and asked questions about prioritization among other maintenance needs; administration said HVAC, intercoms and fire alarms are among the high-priority facilities projects tracked for the district.
