Ambridge Area School Board approved a contract with Constellation Energy to update the heating and cooling system at the junior high school.
advertisement The estimated $4,021,921 project includes the demolition removal of existing equipment that will be replaced with all new equipment, including new unit ventilators, hot water heating system, piping distribution, mechanical and electrical controls.
Mitch Dexter, business development manager at Constellation, told the board at last week’s meeting the company would overhaul the outdated HVAC system and controls and replace with high-efficiency hot water heating, electrical and mechanical cooling. The pressure steam system was installed in 1987.
Constellation had a lower price compared to Schneider Electric, who bid more than $6 million.
Mike Stulak of Economy, a member of concerned citizens group from Liberty Hills, said he still has a concern from the standpoint, the district went from a $6.5 million bid with Schneider to a $4.2 million bid from Constellation. He said there has to be some differences in what the two companies proposed.
“I hope they compared apples to apples, that they didn’t get into a situation that ‘oh this is the lowest number, let’s do it,” Stulak said.
