Board approves $673,376 in long‑term facility maintenance projects for summer work
Summary
The school board approved a package of long-term facility maintenance (LTFM) bids covering doors, lighting, windows, a bus-garage sealant and ADA restroom work across six buildings, funded from LTFM dollars.
The Stillwater Area Public Schools board approved a package of long‑term facility maintenance projects on a motion during its February meeting. The projects cover six district buildings and will be paid from the district’s LTFM (long‑term facility maintenance) funds.
Why it matters: the work includes safety, accessibility and energy-related repairs that district staff described as routine maintenance rather than bond-funded construction.
Scope and funding Projects included (as presented by Mark, district facilities staff): - Afton: replace exterior kitchen door; - Oak Park: replace four exterior doors (two gym doors, two hallway doors); - Rutherford Elementary: replace classroom lighting in two classrooms (continuation of an ongoing lighting upgrade); - Stillwater Middle School: replace wrestling-gym windows; - Stonebridge: replace kitchen and hallway light fixtures, update three classrooms and make restrooms by the gym ADA-accessible for community use; - Transportation/bus garage: replace window sealant and light fixtures.
Mark said work scopes were bid on Feb. 6 with between one and eight bidders per scope. The projects are funded entirely through long‑term facility maintenance dollars for a combined low‑bid total of $673,376.
Vote and next steps The board moved and seconded approval of the LTFM package and passed the motion by voice vote. Staff will schedule the work for the summer and return to the board if any scope changes arise.
Ending: Several directors asked clarifying questions about the bus garage (staff said the district purchased an existing building within the last four to six years) and staff confirmed that the work is maintenance funded through LTFM rather than bond proceeds.
