Superintendent updates board on tennis ribbon cutting, softball progress and pool HVAC cost and lead‑time concerns
Summary
The board heard facility updates including the Mary Marshall Tennis Facility ribbon cutting, on‑pace softball facility work, selection details for the Explore project, and a pool HVAC replacement whose price has doubled and which currently has an estimated 26‑week lead time.
Superintendent Adam told the board the district completed a ribbon cutting for the Mary Marshall Tennis Facility and the courts are open to the public; officials still expect minor punch‑list work such as joint sealing over the next month.
He said the district’s softball facility is still on schedule, with roofing agreements and landscaping completed; the superintendent expects the facility to be available by the spring athletic season, noting a best‑case completion target of February but a more likely timeline of March.
On the high school pool project, Adam said the specific HVAC device needed for pool systems has doubled in estimated cost since the time of the treasury application and currently shows an estimated 26‑week manufacturer lead time. He said the district is expediting procurement and plans to seek board approval in October; the intended construction start is the first Monday after school ends, which the superintendent indicated would be in mid‑June, and the work is expected to take the bulk of the summer.
Adam said the doubled device estimate is a pre‑bid figure and the total project cost will be clarified during the formal bidding process. He added that the pool’s original HVAC has obsolete components and the district has already replaced one failed sensor.
The board also received a brief design update on the Explore elementary project. Adam said the district has selected an exterior color (zinc gray), considered interior finish details such as gym floor striping and door access control points, and expects the project to go to bid in the coming weeks with board review of bids in late fall or early winter.
Board members asked for clarifications on timelines and the superintendent identified Chrisman (project team/contractor) as working to expedite procurement for the pool unit.
Adam emphasized the pool replacement’s priority because the existing system is out of production and could fail, leaving the pool unusable without replacement.
