At the Sept. 3 Property Facilities Committee meeting, staff reported progress and schedules for several ongoing capital projects across the district.

Josh, the district project lead, reported that North Stormwater Phase 3 is complete and that Rutledge Excavating performed the work. He said the natatorium roof repair will restart in September 2025 with an expected two-week field period, after summer contractor schedules cleared. Josh also said the North transportation facility design will go out to bid with work anticipated to begin in October 2025 once floor plans are finalized.

On mechanical work, staff said boiler replacements at Smithfield and at JTL are scheduled for spring 2026 because equipment lead times prevented completion this summer. Staff named JBM Mechanical as the low bidder for both Smithfield and JTL replacements. At the North water tower site, staff said a generator and tank are placed and that startup is pending a training session with the vendor.

Keystone Fire was identified as the awarded contractor for East Stroudsburg Elementary sprinkler replacement; staff said engineered drawings and design work will be completed over winter with phased installation in summer 2026 and the follow-up phase in 2027. South Stadium heating and the associated equipment replacement were described as near completion pending final chimneyliner sections and contractor training. Bushkill boiler replacement was reported on schedule with construction coordination meetings planned.

Staff also said the boardroom audio-visual overhaul is scheduled for November and estimated to take about 11 working days; technology staff indicated the upgrade should not disrupt meetings. Multiple completed projects were displayed as finished, including flooring replacements and partial gym-floor repair projects. Committee members asked staff to bring back consolidated plans for the South Stadium concession and storage project, which has had multiple design options in past years.

Most items were presented as informational updates; no formal votes were taken on the project-status items during the Sept. 3 meeting.
