Trustees debate HVAC replacement costs, hear $35,000 and $100,000 estimates
Summary
Trustees discussed HVAC unit condition, preventive maintenance and capital-planning options; a trustee cited a prior capital request for about $35,000 and another trustee said the gas-only installation estimate was about $100,000.
Trustees on the building, grounds and safety subcommittee reviewed HVAC maintenance and capital-replacement planning. Committee member (Speaker 3) said she would "get a quote to have that AGS come up and give us a quote for cleaning the coils" after noting coils appear not to have been cleaned, and referenced an earlier capital request where "she put in, like, $35,000."
Discussion turned to energy-system choices and costs: the committee discussed electric systems with gas back-up versus gas-only options for replacement. Committee member (Speaker 3) summarized the difference bluntly: "It's a $100,000 for gas," underscoring a large cost differential the trustees will weigh when requesting capital funds. Trustees directed staff to seek quotes and report back for inclusion in next-year capital planning.
