Board approves capital withdrawals and awards FieldTurf contract; other facilities work slated
Summary
The board approved withdrawals and contract awards tied to athletic facilities and closed several operations items: a capital reserve withdrawal of $67,819 to cover overage on field and track replacement, and a $1,449,533 contract award to FieldTurf for track and turf replacement were approved; a $7,500 hydroseeding allowance and a $3,400 ESIP
The Glen Rock Public School District Board of Education approved several fiscal and operations items related to district facilities during the meeting.
At the meeting the board approved a capital reserve withdrawal of $67,819 to cover identified overages for replacement of the football field and track. Board documents cited additional costs mainly for drainage grate replacements and mobilization to allow work to proceed after graduation without large equipment present on the field.
The board also awarded a contract to FieldTurf to replace the track and turf at a price of $1,449,533. Board members discussed timing and budget impacts as part of the fiscal management agenda; the motion to approve the resolutions passed by roll call (unanimous yes from board members present).
Operations staff additionally presented three other items that were discussed or slated for future formal action: a recommended hydroseeding of disturbed areas at the lower soccer field at a cost of approximately $7,500; a change order for the district’s ESIP project to address two additional steam traps with an added scope costing $3,400; and a $20,000 grant credit for a recently completed high‑school roof project that will be allocated between the district and the state at a 60/40 split under the existing grant terms.
The board learned from the business manager that the district’s allowances remain healthy; the ESIP contingency and other reserves were sufficient to absorb the ESIP change order and the field overage. Members asked that larger renamings and capital changes be coordinated with the business office so that implementation and signage budgets are planned in the next fiscal cycle.
Votes and motion details: the motion to approve resolutions B1 through B3 (which included the capital withdrawal and contract award) was made by Mr. Corey and seconded by Stephanie Caricella; a roll call followed with all present voting yes and the motion passed.
Ending: Staff said the FieldTurf contract and capital withdrawal allow scheduled field work to begin in a manner that avoids heavy equipment on graduation day and maintains warranty and scheduling commitments. Hydroseeding and the ESIP change order will be processed as part of the operations and capital project closeouts.
