Linda Khan, a district staff member, said the Siemens contract covers HVAC controls at the Chancellor Center, South, and Goodno and includes a software subscription for Desigo. The annual cost is $43,988, an increase of $2,678 from the prior two-year period. Khan told the committee the contract includes 10 visits at eight hours per visit and a materials discount but that replacement parts are not included in the base service price. “We have 10 visits included in the contract,” Khan said.
Khan described the Johnson Controls proposal as an installation of sensors and controllers at Welsh, Richboro, Goodno, Holland Middle, Newtown Middle and South to monitor freezer and refrigerator temperatures. Programming is included; the total cost for the listed schools is $60,750. Khan said the install and programming will reduce cafeteria food waste by enabling temperature monitoring.
Committee members asked about the frequency and scope of Siemens visits and whether training for building mechanics is included; Khan said the contract includes some training and that additional on-site training can be arranged. The transcript does not show a formal vote on either contract in the provided excerpt.","Staff presented an annual Siemens HVAC-controls service contract for $43,988 and a Johnson Controls proposal to install freezer and refrigerator sensors across district schools for $60,750; committee members asked about service frequency, included training and software subscriptions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":56,"_74":56},6140619,"Facilities staff say township rejection forced milling and paving at Richboro Elementary; change orders reported",95,413000,508000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5577893-14eefc2333fb4732f4f754b304f984d1&start=413&end=508","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5577893-14eefc2333fb4732f4f754b304f984d1/thumbnail_413000.jpg","/articles/6140619/Pennsylvania/Facilities-staff-say-township-rejection-forced-milling-and-paving-at-Richboro-Elementary-change-orders-reported","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6140619-1d9598f8c31e262b219af6779de3bfcd/orig.mp4?Expires=1773574669&Signature=VKXYyzGpRVB3pAMGCmU9snddRxoIFamneWCmoniAN7s5QXSExwKGtUHmS0cAgOn094tTNeWqZXsc4c0sd~U1hAYJ1EbVQ6pFH1baOXllgmrfZRYDjnMCp~moVUNSySBhGy4CrAGJxrv1pLudDof6XA7v957HTP0lOUsMzrC4vAFzrmSWmnvrR5d5sMB7Fpwh9NKoH3s3WAK0s-QCR7qkd82gv~GQjQO94gWC36kipsSZfSyceT1cf~CnnshFZXGa3o-lhGg8~d0THpca3-brc4UBqSQxgV2Doqiy6qADlt29uVgrLuCi7dxjdoCwXHE8eiqOe8q9h1q9-5ta-v0LoA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Facilities staff told the Council Rock School District Facilities Committee on Thursday that Richboro Elementary School required a follow-up change order after the township rejected the contractor’s pavement-marking removal method.
Linda Khan, a district staff member, said the general contractor originally removed conflicting pavement markings using a PennDOT-approved method specified in contract documents. “The method that they used was in agreement with PennDOT standards,” Khan said. The township, however, rejected that approach and required the work to be milled and paved; the district paid a change order for milling and paving in the amount of $36,492.50.
Khan also reported a deduct change order to Guy M. Cooper for unused allowance money in the amount of $14,441. She said the milling and paving were completed on Aug. 4 or 5. Khan told the committee the district coordinated with the township to avoid having the township hold escrow for incomplete work and that future project specifications will avoid specifying eradication of lines in favor of milling and paving where appropriate.

Linda Khan, a district staff member, presented photos and status updates to the Facilities Committee and staff.
The district is finishing new gym-floor coatings at North and Holland Middle schools and is completing painting and new carpet in cafeterias and libraries, Khan said. She told the committee the finishing coats were being applied about a week to a week and a half before the meeting and that sports line markings will follow once shop drawings return.
Khan said crews removed the old chiller at Newtown Elementary and installed a new chiller pad; the new chiller was placed with a crane on Tuesday. She said fence posts for a new enclosure were installed and that the old chiller remained in use as long as possible to support a summer camp on site.
Tennis-court work is under way at the North courts; Khan said the district coordinated with athletic directors to use South courts while work continues and that the contractor that built the North courts will repair pockmarks on the South courts at no cost to the district.
Khan told the committee that a replacement HVAC unit for the North pool, originally expected earlier, has been delayed and is now expected to be available in November or December but may slip to the following summer. “We feel it’s probably gonna slip even further than that,” Khan said, adding that the contractor will repair the compressor in the next week or two to keep the pool operational until a permanent unit is installed.
Committee members and other board members generally thanked staff for the work; one committee member said they had visited the North site and were “really impressed with the work.”
The committee did not record a formal vote on these status reports during the portion of the meeting in the transcript.","District facilities staff told the Council Rock School District Facilities Committee that gym-floor replacements, painting and carpet work, a chiller replacement at Newtown Elementary, and tennis-court repairs are largely on schedule, while the North pool HVAC unit is delayed until next summer.","actionData","errors"]
