The Pleasant Valley School Board approved awarding the contract to replace two chiller units at the Pleasant Valley Intermediate School.

The contract goes to Myco Mechanical for $987,000, and it was approved during their meeting on Thursday night. Myco is currently working for the school district on the high school renovation project.

At the school board’s workshop meeting on Jan. 8, Michael Sander, an engineer and construction manager for CHA Consulting in Bethlehem, told the school board that the district had received bids from five companies.

Each company submitted a base bid and a bid for alternate option. The first alternate option asked the companies to provide a cost to be added or deducted from the base bid to install new pad mounted chillers as indicated in the construction documents. The second alternate option asked them to provide a cost to be added or deducted from the base bid with chillers manufactured by Trane in lieu of the base bid equipment provided by Trane, Carrier or York as stated in the construction documents.

Myco’s base bid was $792,000. The bid for alternate #1 was $195,000 and the bid for alternate #2 was $200,000, giving a total bid of $987,000. Worth & Company Inc.’s base bid was $886,000 with an alternate #1 bid of $257,000 and an alternate #2 bid of $25,000. Worth’s total bid was $1,143,000.
