share at this time on technology or security for the Committee.
Leonard Lawrence and the Bellevue East North Gym project should be closed out within the next 30
days. Ralph Gladbach from GP Architecture is awaiting the final warranty information.
Belleaire and Central – Vishal Khanna from Advanced Engineering Systems (AES) attended the
meeting to present the benefit to the district of replacing the current chiller/boiler systems at Belleaire and
Central to a VRF system. This would be similar to what has been installed at Betz and Peter Sarpy. Mr.
Khanna shared a 30-year life cycle cost analysis of the VRF system. The group held a discussion on other
buildings that could have future needs to have the chiller/boiler system replaced and if a VRF system
would be an option. The district will solicit bids for a commissioning agent which has been used at
Bellevue East, Betz, and Peter Sarpy. Also, Mr. Gladbach shared the buildings that currently have the
VRF system have been trained on the new system.

which McCoy Construction is aware of the areas that will need to be repaired. These repairs will be done

they can be completed before the cold weather arrives. Once completed they will then move onto the
perimeter trim metal.
