Facilities report: Newnan finishing, synthetic turf complete at Northgate, tennis-court subgrade issues flagged
Summary
Facilities staff reported Newnan High is nearly finished, synthetic turf work at Northgate is complete, and a Northgate tennis court has subgrade irregularities that the district recommends be remedied by the original contractor.
District facilities staff on Jan. 14 updated the Coweta County Board of Education on construction and maintenance projects across the district, reporting substantial progress on several school sites and flagging a recommended remedial approach for a Northgate tennis court.
Facilities updates included: - Softball field houses complete (site not specified in transcript). - Newnan High School: near completion; district staff said they were "almost finished with punch list items" and expected to take Newnan off the active list soon. - Career and Education Center (CEC): work ramping up; Southern A and E architects and engineers are preparing conceptual design drawings and a design review meeting was rescheduled for the following day. - Synthetic turf fields: reported complete at Northgate High School. - Renovations at Newnan High and East Coweta High: scheduled to be completed this month; recent weather caused a small delay but crews worked to finish the projects at no cost to the system. - Shield system installation (design stage) planned this summer at Madras, Smoky Road, Arnold, East Coweta and Lee Middle schools; architects and engineers are working on design. - Sewer upgrades planned at Arco Sargent and Eastside Elementary this summer. - Arnold Middle School kitchen reroof: bid date scheduled for Feb. 6; a pre-bid meeting was held on Jan. 23 (per transcript).
District staff reported an irregularity at one Northgate High School tennis court that may be related to the subgrade. Facilities staff said they were working with a geotechnical engineer to determine remediation and that, to maintain the remaining service warranty, the district recommends Torrance Construction Company, the original contractor, perform the required remedial repairs. Board members were briefed but no procurement motion on that repair was taken at the meeting.
Facilities staff also reminded board members to complete disclosure and certification of compliance forms so the district can file them with the Georgia Department of Education.
