February 28, 2023 at 8:00 AM - District 23 Buildings & Sites Committee Meeting

Description:  ARCON and the District have received and reviewed the documents from EMCOR for the Phase 2 portion of the HVAC work at MacArthur. We are enclosing several documents for the Committee's review, including EMCOR's Equipment Proposal and Phase 2 Work Proposal, Honeywell's cost overview and ARCON's budget summary sheet.  Please note projected costs are under budget by approximately $30,000.

Description:  Amy will provide an update on two current solicitations.

Description:  Following some minor structural setting/shifting, several areas of loose mortar were identified in the Ross/Sullivan Gymnasium. Mike will discuss the repairs to be made in a bit more detail.

Description:  The District is in the process of transitioning its energy (gas and electricity) management from the Illinois Energy Consortium (IEC) to Nania Energy.  Following significant market instability, we have executed documents to transition gas over at a locked in rate of .49 per therm for 36 months.  This rate represents a reduction in total gas cost, as we currently pay .68 per therm.  This 36 month agreement will go into effect in December. 

We continue to watch the market closely for the opportunity to lock in our electricity at as low a rate as possible and hope to do so within the next few weeks.  Amy will provide an additional update.

Description:  Following initial meetings with ARCON, a preliminary schedule has been prepared for the upcoming window, siding and door replacements. The schedule has been attached for the Committee's review.

Description:  Following several follow-up meetings with ARCON, a preliminary schedule has been prepared for the upcoming lower level renovations at the Grodsky Administration Building. The schedule has been attached for the Committee's review.
