Description:
The U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) is one of the most pivotal opinions ever rendered by that body. This landmark decision highlights the U.S. Supreme Court¿s role in affecting changes in national and social policy. Often when people think of the case, they remember a little girl whose parents sued so that she could attend an all-white school in her neighborhood. In reality, the story of Brown v. Board of Education is far more complex.

Work consists of: Replace 13 air handling units at the end-of-Life Cycle. The 13 air handling units that serve 13 zones within the Brown v Board of Education NHS Monroe School Building were installed in 2002. This is a geothermal system. In 2023 the units will be at the end of their life cycle and should be replaced with updated more energy efficient air handling units. Currently the units are serviced quarterly by an outside firm. The units have needed various repairs to maintain them in proper working order. The predicated repairs including component replacements of the units and the cost involved for repairs will reach the cost for replacement on most units. Twelve (12) of the units are in the attic within 2 mechanical rooms. In order to remove and install these units they will need to be brought in and out through the roof at a previous access area. This will involve removal and repairing the roof EDPM and access material. The existing units are monitored via a Johnson control panel located in the basement. As part of this scope, the contractor shall disconnect, reconnect, and test that the panel is operational. All work will be located at Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site, 1515 SE Monroe Street, Topeka, KS 66612-1143.
