"The Churchland High School was completed and occupied in January 1992. Approximately one year ago, concerns began to arise with respect to the ventilation system. Immediate measures were taken to ensure compliance with original design documents. A close examination revealed several deficiencies which have been corrected at no cost to the City of Portsmouth or the Portsmouth Public Schools. Modifications have also been made to the filter system to facilitate maintenance. However, because there are still some air quality concerns from school personnel, the Director of Public Works recommends award of a contract to the firm of Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern in the mnount of $29,275 to review the construction and operation of the facility's HVAC system and to perform appropriate air and material testing to thoroughly evaluate concerns received. The firm of Hayes, Seay, Mattern and Mattern was selected through the City's public procurement procedure for an annual service contract to investigate and perform HVAC, plumbing and electric design services. No appropriation is required for this award as funds are available from prior appropriations. I concur with the Director of Public Works and recommend the award of contract."
