CUSD 300 seeks HVAC BAS standardization at Parkview, multiple roofing and safety upgrades
Summary
Facilities staff recommended a $465,000 change order to add Trane open-protocol BAS controls to the Parkview project (raising the Parkview total to roughly $16.01 million), recommended multiple roofing contracts (~$1.6 million total), a marquee sign for Liberty ($36,773 with a $10,000 PTO donation) and an intercom/clock replacement ($959,415) to be funded from capital funds.
Facilities and operations staff presented multiple recommended procurements and a construction change order tied to ongoing capital projects.
Parkview BAS change order: Mister Mickle described an alternate bid to standardize the district’s building automation systems and recommended adding a $465,000 alternate (Trane open-protocol controls) that was already budgeted for the project; he said the Parkview total cost with the alternate would be about $16,011,015. "We went with the lowest overall responsive responsible bidder, and that was Commercial Mechanical...the alternate for the change order is $465,000," Mister Mickle said.
HVAC upgrades and support: Mickle outlined upgrades to Trane Tracer SC Plus controls at 13 buildings, a controller upgrade at Big Timber and a control-support service agreement designed to spread costs into annual service work. The administration recommended approval of service agreements totaling $223,062 from Fund 20 for the Trane-related upgrades and support.
Roofing and signage: Staff recommended awarding Liberty’s roof (package 2a) to Weather Guard Roofing for $698,867 and a second package (Algonquin Lakes and Lincoln Prairie) to Bennett Brusso Roofing for $902,453, for combined capital spending of about $1,601,320 from Fund 60. For external signage, staff recommended replacing a manual sign at Liberty with a district-standard digital marquee from Express Signs at $36,773, with a $10,000 PTO donation toward the cost.
Intercom and clock systems: Applied Communications Group was recommended to replace intercom and clock systems (AtlasIED) in a project estimated at $959,415 and to schedule much of the work during school breaks; staff framed the upgrade as a safety and operational improvement.
Board consideration: administrators emphasized these measures support equipment longevity, safety and future district-wide standardization. The recommendations were presented; the transcript records discussion and questions but does not contain a formal vote record in the provided excerpt.
