THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The May 14, 2026 board agenda includes a “Boiler Project Update” presented by Bob Moore and Jeff Davis of McKinstry, indicating an active facilities upgrade focused on boiler systems. This suggests McKinstry is the selected partner and work is underway, with the board receiving progress reporting rather than making an award decision.
For vendors, this is valuable incumbent and scope intelligence on the district’s mechanical and energy-related infrastructure work. There may be opportunities for follow-on projects such as controls integration, energy management, commissioning, or maintenance, as well as complementary HVAC or building automation upgrades around the boiler modernization effort.
McKinstry representatives are giving a formal update, implying they hold the current boiler project contract and that scope could extend to related energy/facilities work.
