- What: replacing the middle school chiller and an elementary air handler (about $1.8 million), amid other equipment failures.
- Where it stands: waiting on City Council approval, expected October 21 or at the end of the month; the chiller takes about 30 weeks to build.
- Next: bids after approval; installation anticipated next summer.
Details
- A project manager said much of the equipment still works for now but new problems keep arising.
- At the high school a fire alarm panel failed and a fire watch is in place; elevators also failed. Staff attributed repeated damage to lightning strikes. A temporary chiller is in place.
- A board member asked about bollards for the car pickup line (no answer given) and the city said it would follow up by email on an earlier question.
