Sloane Elementary construction reaches roughly 25% complete; first slab pour planned for May
Summary
Construction managers reported March–April progress on the Sloane Elementary project at the April 7 board meeting: precast erection is complete, structural steel and roofing are underway, utilities are nearly installed and the project is roughly 25% complete with the first slab pour scheduled for early May.
Project representatives gave the board a monthly update on the Sloane Elementary construction at the April 7 meeting, reporting that site work resumed after winter and that the project was gaining momentum.
Representatives from JD Dunn said precast components had been erected and that structural steel, roof work on the gymnasium and north classroom wing, canopy framing and underground utility work (sanitary, storm and domestic water) were progressing. The contractor said the first interior slab pour was scheduled for early May and that the project was approximately 25% complete, up from roughly 18% the prior month.
JLG Architects’ Nick Lippert told trustees the city had held preconstruction meetings for the Thirteenth Avenue road work that interfaces with the school site and that the city expects to complete that road project by October. Lippert also said the city had applied for a grant that, if awarded, could reduce the district’s share of the road work by roughly $60,000; he gave an approximate school portion figure of $495,000 before any grant award.
Board members were invited to schedule site visits; staff also said a public webcam and planned time-lapse footage would be available for community viewing.
Ending: Construction managers said work would accelerate through spring and summer as slabs and interior work proceed; the board will receive monthly construction updates and will review related cost-share paperwork with the city as it becomes available.
