Vote Language:
Having reviewed the HVAC System Study prepared for Parker by VAV International, the Facilities Committee supports the main findings, option selections, and overall shape of the master plan. The Committee also supports the choice to break the project into three distinct phases, roughly described as
  • Phase 1: 1950’s building (except Auditorium) and electrical system infrastructure
  • Phase 2: 1970’s building (except gym)
  • Phase 3: Auditorium, Gym, demolition of legacy systems.
Given the condition of systems in the 1950’s building, the Facilities Committee makes the following recommendations to the Parker Trustees and the Sizer Foundation Trustees:
  1. That VAV International be authorized to proceed with design specifications, bid documents, and other process steps needed for Phase 1 of the project;
  2. That all deliberate speed be used so that Phase 1 of the project can be executed during the summer of 2020;
  3. That the Parker’s Finance Committee develop a funding plan for Phase 1 for consideration by the Parker trustees and the Sizer Foundation.
  B. Summer projects update
   
Discuss any upcoming projects for summer 2020 in addition to HVAC
