District weighs $1.62 million LED lighting and controls upgrade at Landis Run Intermediate
Summary
An ESCO presentation outlined a guaranteed‑savings LED and control upgrade at Landis Run Intermediate with a proposed contract of $1,623,937, expected energy savings and a May–September construction window; board to vote May 21.
Administration presented a proposed energy‑conservation project for Landis Run Intermediate that would replace existing fluorescent fixtures and update controls under a guaranteed‑savings arrangement with McClure, an energy‑services contractor, officials said.
Zach (administration) introduced McClure representatives; Will of McClure (self‑identified during his presentation) outlined the guaranteed‑maximum price and guaranteed‑savings approach, saying the company performs measurement and verification and will be responsible for shortfalls in realized savings.
McClure showed a project sum of $1,623,937, including the LED fixtures, new control systems and some deductive value‑engineering options expected to reduce the net scope by about $60,000. The firm projected realized energy and operational savings of about $487,000 over the measurement period and estimated the net project cost after savings would effectively reduce to roughly $1.1 million in long‑term cash flow terms.
The scope includes retrofits in corridors and vestibules, new fixtures in the library and cafeteria, LED flat panels in music areas, parking‑lot LED fixtures and an updated control system that dovetails with the district’s existing building‑automation platform. McClure also noted the middle‑school rooftop power purchase agreement is under way and said the two projects complement each other.
Board members asked for timeline detail and confirmed the work would be scheduled to avoid disruption to the school day; McClure said construction would be performed from May to September and that the measurement‑and‑verification process includes construction‑period checks and the subsequent year’s monitoring. The administration told the committee the formal vote is scheduled for May 21 at the district’s voting meeting.
