Facilities chief outlines FY26 capital and LTFM program; comprehensive safety audit and roof/pavement assessments flagged as priorities
Summary
Steve Moore presented a proposed FY26 capital and long‑term facilities maintenance (LTFM) program that includes a comprehensive safety/security audit, infrared roof and pavement assessments, boiler replacements, lighting retrofits with expected energy rebates, and a list of prioritized repair projects across district buildings.
The district’s FY26 capital and long‑term facilities maintenance (LTFM) program was presented May 27, 2025, by Steve Moore. Moore described an array of projects the administration proposes to program and budget, highlighted by three early actions: a comprehensive safety and security audit, aerial infrared assessments for roofs and pavements, and targeted energy projects.
Moore said the safety/security audit would include on‑site assessments, stakeholder interviews and procedural reviews; the consultant he referenced has experience with high‑profile school incidents and is expected to deliver both procedural and physical recommendations, many with no direct capital cost. The roof and pavement infrared analysis will produce a five‑year plan to focus replacements and avoid full‑roof or full‑lot replacements where partial repairs are sufficient.
Moore outlined a longer list of LTFM items: boiler replacements at several buildings, elevator upgrades (cost‑effective repairs rather than full replacements), a major lighting retrofit at Horizon East with estimated annual energy and operations savings (and an expected utility rebate that exceeded earlier estimates), rooftop HVAC unit replacements and multiple pavement seal, mill or overlay projects. He also flagged some school‑specific items (e.g., secure-entrance work at Probst Field admin area, concrete walk improvements at Dodds pickup, interior classroom and floor updates at several sites) and said some projects are funded from different sources, including the ice levy and PTAC for specific items.
Moore told the board the proposed program targets approximately $1.8M across capital and LTFM categories and emphasized that upfront analysis and targeted repairs reduce lifecycle costs and defer larger replacements. Board members asked questions about how projects were prioritized, pavement maintenance cycles and the schedule for track and parking‑lot work.
Why it matters: The plan identifies near‑term capital needs that will affect facility condition, energy costs and project budgets. Several projects have long lead times (rooftop units, major lighting contractors) and require timely procurement and coordination to minimize operational disruptions.
