Discussion:
With Mike Connelly's retirement, the administration has evaluated the position and the likelihood of being able to employ a fully qualified HVAC Technician and determined seeking a maintenance and service contract with a professional provider is in the best interest of the district. Chappell Central, located out of Willmar, MN has completed an inventory of current equipment, an analysis of service needs, and provided a proposal (attached) which is being recommended by Mr. McKittrick.
This 3 year agreement includes service, on call maintenance service, and training of lead custodians of HVAC systems, This agreement fits into the current budget allocated for these services and allows the district to redistribute remaining funds to accomplish the remaining maintenance and grounds duties. Acceptance of this agreement is recommended. |
