District facilities staff summarize extensive summer repairs and safety upgrades
Summary
Facilities leaders reported HVAC cleaning, ADA work, new fire alarm at Green Hills, playground and roof repairs, irrigation fixes, portable refurbishments, and other projects completed over the summer by a small maintenance team supplemented by summer helpers and outside contractors.
Facilities staff outlined the district’s summer maintenance and repair program, describing a heavy workload completed by a small team of in-house staff and outside vendors.
Director of Facilities (Mrs. Mercado) said the district operates with a "small but mighty" core team of four maintenance staff plus custodial coverage at each site and a roving sub. She introduced Steve and other crew members who summarized major projects completed over the summer: HVAC cleaning of every unit, shade-structure completion at Oak Hills, ADA upgrades at Maidu, renovation of F5 portable (dry rot repair, new siding), multiple roof and dry-rot repairs, flooring replacement at Green Hills classrooms, replacement of failed backflow assemblies (including Excelsior), playground slide repair, tree trimming across sites, and a new fire alarm and voice evacuation system at Green Hills.
The facilities team said they used outside contractors for some repairs (KAGWIN was named) and purchased tools (a tracer) to locate irrigation valves to support in-house repairs. Staff noted they also managed significant furniture moves and deliveries to accommodate increased enrollment, and that some work (e.g., San Juan water audits) identified further repairs to be scheduled.
Trustees praised the crew's work. The presentation emphasized preventative maintenance to reduce future roof and gutter leaks and described an ongoing list of items yet to be completed.
