THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The board approved a $211,880 contract with Duggins Mechanical of Burlington LLC to replace the failing cooling tower at Glenwood Elementary with a fiberglass unit plus $10,000 owner contingency. The new tower supports the building’s water-source heat pump loop and is expected to offer better durability and potential reuse at other district sites. This award identifies Duggins Mechanical as an HVAC incumbent for capital improvements, useful for follow-on mechanical, controls, and energy-efficiency work across the district.
Funded through Capital Improvements; Alternate #1 fiberglass tower selected for longevity and corrosion resistance.
