Committee reviews summer capital projects: stormwater, boilers, natatorium roof and JTL flooring
Summary
Staff updated the Property & Facilities Committee on multiple capital projects set to start this summer, including Stormwater Phase 3, boiler replacements under a DCED grant, the North natatorium roof materials on site, and JTL flooring material orders; several projects await bonds, insurance or have long material lead times.
The East Stroudsburg Area School District Property & Facilities Committee on June 4 received updates from staff on several capital projects slated for summer work, with staff cautioning that bonds, insurance and material lead times could affect start dates.
Josh (staff member) said Stormwater Phase 3 and multiple boiler projects previously approved are awaiting bonds and insurance so notices to proceed can be issued; contractors should receive formal notices by the end of the week if paperwork is complete. He said the boiler replacements are part of a DCED grant timeline and that some components have long lead times; work that can be completed this summer will be prioritized while some items may extend into spring 2026.
On the North natatorium roof, staff said materials are on site and a payment/application for materials was on the agenda. Josh said contractors were working around class schedules and weather and were expected to move forward full-time the following week. For JTL, staff reported that flooring materials have been ordered and that the first application for payment for materials appeared on the agenda in the amount listed as $323,977.50; labor will follow as installation proceeds.
Why it matters: several of these projects are significant capital expenditures that affect building systems and safety, and staff emphasized procurement, bond and insurance steps that must be completed before work can start. Long lead times for controls and pumps could push completion of some systems into next year.
Discussion and next steps: staff will continue to coordinate bonds, insurance and preconstruction meetings and will issue notices to proceed when contractual conditions are met. Applications for payment listed on the agenda were approved by the board during the meeting.
