Ocean Township board says intermediate school boiler replacement is halfway complete
Summary
Officials told the Township of Ocean Board of Education on Jan. 28 that Phase 2 of the intermediate school boiler replacement is underway and about halfway finished, with district staff expecting completion by the end of the next week.
The Township of Ocean Board of Education received an update Jan. 28 saying the Phase 2 boiler replacement at the district intermediate school is underway and approximately halfway complete.
Board member and staff attendees were told the board previously approved the installation of the second boiler room this year as part of a multi‑phase upgrade. “Phase 2 is underway, and about halfway through. It’s going smoothly, onward, and we expect completion of that project by the end of next week,” said Mr. Hastings, staff member, during the work session.
Nut graf: The work continues a multiphase facilities project that the board has been carrying out to modernize heating systems; officials reported a short timeline to finish the current phase and provided no new budget changes at the work session.
District staff said the board approved the intermediate school boiler installation before the Jan. 28 work session; the board did not record a roll call or vote on that approval in the work‑session record presented. No contractor names, change orders or new cost figures were provided at the meeting. Mr. Hastings gave the update as part of a broader operations report and confirmed the timeline but did not provide a final completion certificate or inspection status.
The board did not take any new formal action on the boilers at the Jan. 28 work session; staff presented the status update for information. The district indicated project completion should occur the week following the meeting, barring unforeseen delays.
Looking ahead: The board will receive final project close‑out information and any related financial or warranty details in a future public meeting if staff identifies outstanding items or costs.
