Village identifies urgent HVAC and ductwork needs; furnace quote presented
Summary
President J. Giles told the board the village building has an aged furnace with ductwork problems in the attic and crawlspace and shared a GW Berkheimer furnace quote for $3,982.50 including tax. The board authorized getting additional ductwork quotes and a plan.
Village President J. Giles described the municipal building’s heating system as aging and in need of immediate attention, saying "Everything needs work." He presented a GW Berkheimer quote for $3,982.50 (including tax) for a furnace, but said the ductwork in the attic and crawlspace is the higher priority and will require additional quotes and specialized work.
Giles said he could install the furnace but not complete the attic or crawlspace ductwork. Board members gave voice approval to pursue ductwork quotes and develop a plan; no replacement or construction contract was awarded at the meeting. The transcript did not specify timelines for completing the ductwork nor identify a funding source beyond the general discussion of needed expenditures.
The entry underscored maintenance backlogs in older municipal buildings and the board’s decision to seek multiple bids before committing to higher-cost repairs.
