Summary

After shifting from a proprietary controls system, the district awarded a three‑year HVAC service contract to ABM Mechanical with year‑one cost about $45,600 (vs. prior budgeted $87,000). The board also approved disposal of surplus technology items from the instructional‑panel project.

Administration reported competitive bids for HVAC service after replacing proprietary controls and recommended a three‑year contract with ABM Mechanical Inc. Administration said the district previously budgeted $87,000 for service under the old contract; under the new contract year‑1 cost will be about $45,600, with modest increases in years 2 and 3. The board voted to approve the contract.

Separately, administration sought permission to dispose of surplus technology equipment pursuant to policy DN following the instructional‑panel project and other upgrades. The inventory list presented to the board included Apple TVs (third and fourth generations), projectors, 125 M1 MacBooks and about 115 fifth‑generation iPads; administration said staff will first offer equipment to district staff before public sale. The board approved the disposition plan.
