Trustees approved awarding the Northbridge Elementary HVAC upgrade to Carrier (CSP 251228) and authorized administrators to negotiate and finalize the contract, citing cost savings from bundling three schools.

The board voted to approve the administration's recommendation to award the HVAC upgrade at Northbridge Elementary to Carrier and authorized staff to negotiate and execute the contract (CSP 251228). Superintendent Dr. Rivera said the selection was made for cost savings and to use the same vendor across three schools.

"I'm recommending that we approve Carrier for the reasons listed in your packet, which is cost savings and then using the same vendor and all 3 schools together," Dr. Rivera said. Trustees praised the projected savings; one trustee noted the district stood to save more than half a million dollars. The motion passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally provided in the transcript.
