Reuleaux and I tripped in the N B A Q volleyball team yeah yes Sir Walter J Baird volleyball team has requested to attend to MTSU it's over the summer season or actually the summer but the dates are July 22nd to 23rd and I'll spend the night and represent that Walter J make a motion to approve the second her overnight trip to Philadelphia and Washington d.c. went to write yes sir and your packet this is annual trip Ford went through Bryant and then we can actually included other students but this is an outside agency that makes this available to our students over the district doesn't necessarily man that but we provide chaperones would rather opportunity student want to go then plans and different off so this is their annual like most we approved the Washington DC field trip second fat radio station for the puppies yes sir we have Poplarville industry couple of your company's here going to talk to us about Energy Efficiency and imma steal your thunder but I'll let you answer them how do you make a little bit easier the vice president at Poplar Hill company which is my wife a nice when she was present at other woman on small business I went unlimited general contractor we've been working with Legend special schools in 2010 and I've done other projects in 2015 and 17 and we work closely with Jerry England to do this project you made a call to us give me a call to us about a year ago and we went aboard several of the schools in the district to assess that age and can mechanical and lighting and water heating systems throughout found several problems several old units several things that they smoke a lot of these units 25 years old ones that were looking at supposed to replace 97 heating air conditioning combination unit how many 97 doesn't cover probably 383 400 wheel directions they're not all of this age 25 years you've had incrementally replaced special and our goal is to replace those in a group and get a group by on it reactively go repair then there is end of life so we looked at a lady's back while we were walking to school we had we had some water heaters that we're going to tear what are even planned it to the Walter J Baird is kind of antiquated because you're not using need a bowl of water and some of the locations were going to remove that and then put in the more simple water and maintenance and then on our investigation there were some windows and doors at Walter Jacobs that are past their life there are three storefront doors on Walter J that are unsecured and they're also leaking a lot of condition are out of them so we can knock out both of those things at the same time seeing them up make them safe addition to that but that's all of the remaining Lighting in the district we can play some LED lighting in the past 32 summer project for we've added some ceilings and got things under control project but this makes another teacher to the district to upgrade to the main light LED which is where you get the most of the energy savings to fund his truck while we were doing the lighting look check out the forcefield lady kind of did this is a luxury at some point you're going to have to replace them down the road definitely not emergency we're looking at it and we're going through there's a there's a better way to do for light these are the costs all of the improvements and you also look at the the 10-year cost of Williams that has all of your maintenance savings and all of my Energy savings there's also some till he has ended so the cost of 42 million you think that's that's what we were saying over 10 years or so and in again doing it doing Replacements in the message that were talking about doing it just saves you a lot more money in them service calls and find one unit two minutes to talking to Jerry I think they had five service calls today on some of the units that were talking about so they're working on these things all the time and it's hard to come by parts the implementation plan for completion doodly X is about 24 months most of it'll happen quicker but to be fully complete how do you spell equipped the further out we have presented service agreement your master agreement to get through this book going there's a little bit more investigation to do into the HVAC portion of this there may be some music you may want to add maybe something to eat we got to finish that go for a little bit so I'm working on that process right now. the things that tell Jerry and I discussed with Copperhill was we could even started at $0 Master Services agreement energy is considered a Anon edible type of project for the board that because of the nature of the services they offered the same as legal counsel or an architect or anything like that so we could be a dollar Services agreement and as projects were to come up there's already projects planned to extra money that's already been approved that would fall into this energy agreement the replacement of the door at the Walter J where has been on tap for a couple years now with it it's the gym doors Library doors and the band room for example I know that. We just replace the cooling towel at the castle height in projects like that that we have to complete any way that we would ask the board and it can be a funding as if we need a project it's under the agreement the board could approve funding at that point it doesn't have to be all one thing of one time and I think that's a would be agreeable to that and then our conversation Gary King anymore the technical stuff I'm not in the moon now has heat and air Mark May do more but Jerry can answer and I know that Jerry and I discuss all the time about the greatest need is an individual Heating and Air Tech because they spend so much time dealing with the boilers heating and air cooling towers HVAC during the snow we had to come in several times with the boiler system at Castle Heights it is 43 degrees in and some of the rooms we were out of school in Africa. you just dialed it carries assistant came in as well during those snow days to get the boys up and running again and waiting on a part so the total project for all the 3.6 million great so what you're saying is we would just approve the money as these projects are completed has anybody been approved to complete some of these projects and how much is that in somewhere around there I think it's still in that all has to be spent in any way by the end of this year December 31st is the last day that has to be spent and we're looking at lead time and getting that done and it's not like we were sitting on anything you know the whole entire incident in the past 2 weeks then at winter Rye and we were waiting on parts there's a wiring harness continues to be an issue that we can't get anymore 23 yes that has projects would come available then we would do the board to come back and approve or not certain projects so I talked with Poplar Hill is basically a project over a 3 but your cycle do Capital Improvement so you were looking at this budget years next budget year and then the following budget year would finish it up so we were attempting to do this without looking it issue in any kinds of bond or look do any type of loan and basically using you are not basically we would be using School District dollars to do these upgrades that we budget in for some of this do I have to use anybody did you just say over the next two years to complete all his work correct this is finishing for my implement play December of 24 so that's not libros de okay project car with it being such a big project why would we get it out but being such a big project and we haven't looked at anybody else so it's the same with Architects state law if you're going to talk to someone you don't like them you can move on talk to another one that's how the service type is setup can type them up you can talk to multiple and soon you can but you'll have to wait and see that you did you base that y'all 21 and you hear their pricing and then you can move to another or you can pay the whole project out to the different to a different contractor but we're not talking about like whole project we're talkin about different projects that come available and we don't have the resources Manpower Gary didn't have the manpower to manage many different contractors off the same time but they're bringing it right we're just basically putting out there to bid bring it does we're not doing any work physically I Don't Wanna Cry other vendors for all this came up to just to see what kind of dollar amounts we were we were talking about so when you put together this is just me like from the standpoint he's like I would put together a proposal everything's I was looking to purchase and that proposal would have everything the one proposal and then I would send that out to everybody allow them to see that and then bid on that and then I would just do it one time and said have anybody coming in one-time showing them you know 50/50 things what's a proposed I mean like in sponsorship and Industry I get Bridgestone I know I got a good friend works there when I do things they did things out like that too and it's not like they just do it on one year this rate we'll do that right the option that a master Services agreement that they handle that side of things but getting all this out and putting everything together we can work on that we can definitely did that out because the professional service has has we are is that we basically engineered architect services to do this as manage account on something that's just going to move and vote I don't think boat on the first time in a prove something like that and we haven't investigated look at it I don't I don't want to keep Jerry's time I want to be buried in a bottle that but I think maybe next week have a plan and maybe the next board meeting have something to where we get our present other people to her is what we were discussing and then then entering a contract so it would be a $0 they would be run through there have a contractor and don't see that we're good either way I mean you all would authorize that supposed to go to the subcontractor independent variable 80 of those you better than me right now so have a seven-month lead time or you can even question is why is this coming up just now but when we talked about this 3 months ago then I'm going and then you were talking about in the winter time when you're up here in his 41° that would have been good time to say hey let's start thinking about this and put this on the radar good morning Friday covid-19 latest shutting down there to refrigerate liquid coming out online travels are going to shut down so many different factors that have just come up all the sudden when I make it this morning with 36 units Ben Pickler ever built in 2000 that I have a low oil field in that failed all the time we're buying was with we'll get this one formation from Papago companies that break down with the Energy service agreement as well as cost that then vigil just to clarify we don't want to commit any dollars it would just be in agreement to utilize them but understand more information for the specific items but where do you think is spend Esther dollars by end of this year to the correct correct how much was it which already those are allocated was allocated for this Energy Efficiency to Nazareth $3 event are we doing projects with Jim roof projects other cooling our projects out of these extra dollars these are just what's remaining left to do out of those dollars have to wait for the worst all right how much do we have left basketball and we've actually left a lot I was hot I went through 25 the worst Georgia but that answer money is okay to spend for project but if say a compressor goes down tomorrow and your guys have to go out to to fix that that answer money is not being used that's just coming out of our repairs and maintenance record regular classroom so this would get those fun and two we were in there this morning but this would get the answer fun and to this Pride for you know this replacement project where it will alleviate some of the expenses the regular maintenance to me that's what islands are here Mark the projects who are you so the request was for a master Services agreement which would allow us to utilize Poplar Hill Industries popplio Technologies for Energy Efficiency pieces will understand if you'd like more information visual component the master Services agreement was $0 and essentially is utilizing them as our contractor and I just like to see a better breakdown for you know where does 3.6 million dollars is going done Mickey Mouse candy table table this Kumon reading something two and three and four pumps and we are in ecology review and and most of these are Corrections with Jay additionally There's No Child Left Behind other references that aren't applicable still at this time or they needed to be updated so comparability of services the issue date made it to be corrected no no substantial changes to it next step is in quotations we did not have in our language practice we do which is purchases from the Tennessee State wide contract or the Fed General Services Administration schedule that doesn't require competitive bids if this is a bad language in what we currently do and cleanup PCA comes at the bottom next we have security at this is just an excuse from the mou that previously would have been
