1. Cooling towers at Colleyville Heritage High School and chiller at Grapevine High School
The board approved a guaranteed maximum price to replace a failing HVAC cooling chiller system at Grapevine High School and to install two cooling towers at Colleyville Heritage High School and add air conditioning to the Main Distribution Frame room located on the third floor of CHHS. This is the room that houses the district’s backup network operations center. The board approved bids for the project and a GMP of $586,117.
"This project is within budget," Barbaroux said.
The work is to be accomplished this summer.
2. Automatic external defibrillators added
The district also approved a motion to purchase six automatic external defibrillators for four campuses, as recommended by the American Heart Association to provide medical attention within 90 seconds. These defibrillators can be used on any person needing it over the age of 1. The defibrillators will be added to Dove Elementary School, the Early Childhood Development Center, Cannon Elementary School and the Multipurpose Activity Center.
"We need to purchase a few more to be able to have that [AHA] standard," Ryan said.
The board approved $9,299 of undesignated 2005 bond interest earnings to purchase the six defibrillators.
Barbaroux said there is a potential for more defibrillators to be added after the district meets these initial needs.
