Board approves new data‑center air‑conditioning system for administration building ($87,658.12)
Summary
The board authorized purchase and installation of a new air‑conditioning system for the administration building data center by Automated Logic not to exceed $87,658.12, funded from the site sinking fund. Facilities described undersized, 10‑year‑old equipment and said the new system will improve efficiency.
The Monroe Public Schools Board approved a purchase and installation contract for a new data‑center air‑conditioning system at the administration building, authorizing Automated Logic to perform the work at a cost not to exceed $87,658.12 to be funded by the site sinking fund.
Administration described recurring failures and undersized equipment in the current system, noting two existing units amounted to a combined 6 tons while the heat load is about 9 tons. Larry, the facilities speaker, said one unit was 10 years old and was used when installed and that the new configuration would include a 10‑ton unit and an economizer to bring in outside air, which should improve efficiency. As the presentation stated, the proposed purchase and installation would be “at a cost not to exceed $87,658.12.”
Board members asked about equipment age and installation timeframe; staff estimated three to four weeks for equipment arrival and about two additional weeks for installation. The board voted to approve the purchase by roll call.
