MSD Boone Township reviews $12.55 million fieldhouse project; Varigy to manage performance contract
Summary
Board members received an informational update on a high-school fieldhouse project with a total cost of $12,548,896.78; Varigy (performance contract manager) and recommended vendors were presented and the board accepted bid information to consider awards next week.
MSD Boone Township administrators briefed the school board on plans for a new high-school fieldhouse and multi-purpose building, describing a two-part procurement: a performance contract (solar, HVAC, lighting and controls) managed by Varigy and a construction contract covering civil work, structural steel, masonry, gym flooring and sports equipment.
Superintendent Dr. Brooks said the combined project cost is $12,548,896.78, which includes performance-contract equipment and the construction scope (survey, earthwork, utilities, masonry, steel, fire suppression, sports equipment and gym flooring). "The total project for this both ends is $12,548,896.78," he said.
Officials described the performance-contract portion as the energy and controls work (solar panels, HVAC, roof with a 30-year warranty, lighting and electric controls) and said Varigy will oversee that side as part of the construction management role. The administration listed recommended contractors for specific trades: AMG Services (structural steel), Adams Masonry (masonry), Larson Danielson (civil and general contractor), ProStar Services (sports flooring), Lee Company and Elite Storage Products (sports equipment), H&T Electrical (electrical/performance), TLC Plumbing and Corellis Roofing. Administrators said most recommended vendors are local.
The board heard that construction is likely to wait for more favorable weather, with ground work tentatively targeted for March; Varigy representatives were expected to appear next week to finalize vendor selections. The board voted to "accept the high school fieldhouse bid information," passing the motion by voice vote, and will consider any formal contract awards at a subsequent meeting after final vendor selection.
No specific funding sources, bond measures or budget line items were spelled out in the transcript; administrators said the performance contract includes energy savings but did not provide projected dollar savings in the meeting minutes.
