District updates: South track, bus garage, boilers and stadium scoreboard among facilities projects
Summary
Property and facilities committee reported recommended vendors and payments for several capital and maintenance projects: South High track repair, a five‑year waste management contract, boiler and hot water heater replacements, flooring work at multiple schools, stormwater bids and a bus‑garage lounge/restroom add‑on.
The East Stroudsburg Area SD property and facilities committee summarized on April 28 a string of ongoing and recommended projects, including high‑school track repair, a multi‑year waste contract, boiler replacements and partial flooring work at elementary buildings.
Why it matters: many projects are capital or maintenance items funded from capital reserves and impact building operations, transportation staff and athletic facilities used by students and community groups.
Committee recommendations and work in progress
- High School South track: committee recommended Miller Sports Construction with $6,000 from a grant and $2,000 from the general budget for repairs tied to jumping pits and lane work.
- Waste management: committee recommended a five‑year contract with Waste Management totaling about $838,574 for district disposal services.
- Boiler and hot‑water heaters: JTL School and South High Facility work include boiler and hot‑water‑heater replacements; Scranton Electric recommended for heating and cooling service with an invoice recommendation of $28,226 for boiler/hot‑water work.
- Flooring and abatement: CHA invoices for partial flooring replacement and abatement at JTL, Resica and Jam Hill (amounts individually listed in committee minutes) were recommended for payment.
- North campus bus garage and lounge: committee discussed an option to add a restroom and driver lounge at the North bus garage with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $125,000.
- Stormwater and natatorium: North Campus stormwater project stage 3 repair scheduled for bid opening May 5; natatorium roof insulation work is underway and water‑tower generator work is continuing.
Nut graf — schedule and next steps
Several items were presented for board approval at the April meeting as routine contract and payment actions; the property and facilities committee will continue meeting monthly, and the next meeting was scheduled for May 7. Staff asked the board to approve vendor invoices and notices to proceed so work can continue through the summer.
Ending
The work plan covers maintenance and capital needs across buildings and transportation; the board approved many of the committee recommendations during the meeting, and staff said projects would be monitored for budget and schedule adherence.
