Aldermen approve $297,430 rooftop HVAC replacements at Aurora Police headquarters
Summary
Aurora aldermen approved a $297,430 contract (plus 10% contingency) to replace three rooftop HVAC units at the Aurora Police Department headquarters; facilities staff said the work was budgeted for 2025 and the new units have an expected 15–20 year lifespan.
Aurora aldermen voted unanimously July 27 to accept a bid from Art Leap and Sons Inc. (Aurora) to replace three rooftop heating, ventilation and air-conditioning units at the Aurora Police Department headquarters for $297,430, with a 10% contingency of $29,743.
Facilities superintendent Luca Taro described the work and said it was already budgeted: "This item was already budgeted in 2025," and he asked the council to approve replacing the remaining three units in the task building. Asked about equipment life, Taro said newer units typically last about "15 to 20 years," noting the most modern systems have more electronic components that can shorten lifespan compared with older models.
A motion to approve was made by Alderman Jonathan Nunez and seconded by Alderman Shweta Bay; the council recorded a 4-0 vote in favor. The staff presentation said the project is intended to complete replacement work in the current building envelope and will proceed once the contract is awarded.
