District reports track completion timeline, summer facilities work and inspections
Summary
Facilities director reported the athletic track asphalt is in a 28-day curing period before rubberized surfacing; multiple summer maintenance projects, an indoor air quality grant project and numerous safety inspections were also completed or underway.
District facilities staff told the Hebron, Andover and Marlborough Regional Board of Education that the new athletic track surface is in a 28-day asphalt curing period before installation of the rubberized membrane and painting, and that completion is anticipated in late September or early October pending weather. The board heard a broad summary of summer capital and routine facilities work, safety inspections, and a near-complete indoor air quality project funded by a grant.
Michael Schleyhoffer, the district facilities lead, briefed the board on capital projects and summer maintenance. He said the track contractor completed the asphalt base and the work now requires a rest period "to let the oils seep out of it and evaporate before they'll put down the membrane," and that fencing and scoreboard footings would be installed during the waiting period.
Schleyhoffer reported approximately $40,000 had been budgeted and spent on concrete sidewalk repairs. He also summarized other projects and routine maintenance: a middle-school lower-ADA access punch list remains, an indoor air-quality project funded by grant money is roughly 80% complete with remaining programming tasks, and custodial and maintenance crews performed extensive cleaning and repairs across buildings (window washing, carpet shampooing, sealing rubber stair treads, painting, gym-floor refinishing).
He listed inspections completed over the summer: sprinkler annual test and a five-year tank inspection that required draining and refilling a roughly 30,000-gallon tank; fire system, fire curtain, fire doors, bleacher review, kitchen hood cleaning and inspections, fume-hood servicing for science labs, paint‐booth filter changes, grease-trap work, and replacement of an acid tank at the middle school. The maintainers completed 143 classroom condition reports and advanced 800 locker combinations in preparation for the school year.
Board members asked about leftover materials storage and new sheds; Schleyhoffer said excess-material storage was in place and three new sheds had been purchased, installed and the prior units removed. The loading-dock repair was described as a project for next year because of the loading needs during the school year. No formal board action was taken; the report was informational.
