District says contractor will manage new HVAC controls, will train local staff during two-year warranty period
Summary
Board members reported that Site Log (contractor) and Apollo Group (vendor) will finalize punch-list items and will manage new HVAC controls for two years while training district employees.
At the April 2 Wyoming Valley West School District work session, a board speaker reported that the district and its contractors are finalizing a remaining punch list for recent construction work and that the contractor Site Log and vendor Apollo Group will manage new building HVAC controls under an escrow or warranty arrangement.
The speaker said general touch-up work — paint, woodwork and remaining packing tasks — is expected to be completed over the summer to avoid classroom disruption. The speaker added that Site Log will remain in district buildings “for the next 2 years” to guarantee and manage the new control system and to train district employees on the new controls.
The board discussed who will manage the controls after the warranty period. The manufacturer and a local vendor used by nearby districts were referenced as potential sources for follow-up service; the speaker said representatives from Apollo Group had overseen similar systems in nearby Wilkes-Barre schools and could provide a local connection.
Why it matters: The board’s report clarifies short-term operational control and training for building systems that affect energy performance and daily operations. Board members said the timeline for completion of punch-list items aims to minimize disruption and that Site Log will be responsible for system performance during the stated period.
No formal action or vote on contracts or vendor selection was recorded in the transcript of the work session.
