Board approves replacement condenser fans for Monroe High chiller system
Summary
The board approved buying 20 condenser fans for Monroe High School’s chiller system from Trane at a cost not to exceed $76,700, funded from the site sinking fund. District staff said several fans failed and Trane’s warranty window had closed.
President Heck presided as the board approved a facilities purchase to restore full air‑conditioning capacity at Monroe High School. Mr. Payne, the district presenter, asked the board to approve purchase of 20 condenser fans from Trane “at a cost not to exceed 76,700” funded by the site sinking fund and said the district is running on a single chiller because of failed fans.
Board members questioned lifespan and warranty coverage; Mr. Payne said the fans are roughly “4 to 5 years” old, that Trane provided a partial discount but would not cover replacement under warranty, and that the district is pursuing options such as rebuilding spares locally when urgency subsides. The motion to approve the purchase carried on roll call (transcript records “the motion carries”; numeric vote tally not specified).
