Facilities outlines proposed 2026 summer projects including Sale House roof, paving, LED field lights and panel replacements
Summary
Facilities presented CHA‑prepared order‑of‑magnitude budgets for a slate of proposed 2026 summer projects, including Sale House roof and siding, North/Newtown paving, partial roof replacement, LED field lights, South exterior panel replacement and equipment for career/tech spaces.
Facilities reviewed a list of proposed summer 2026 projects and CHA‑developed order‑of‑magnitude budgets intended to align with the district master plan and available capital funds. The projects presented included:
- Sale House: roof, siding and window replacement (to support life‑skills program use). Estimated total: $127,300. - North and Newtown Middle: paving and sidewalk maintenance (sealcoat, milling/overlay where needed). Estimated total near $1.2 million for combined work. - North: partial roof replacement around the auditorium (estimated $1.1 million). - Waltz Snyder stadium: LED field lighting replacement to reduce glare/light pollution and lower energy usage (estimated $616,750). - South: exterior power washing and selective metal panel replacement (front facade priority; estimated $696,310), replacing panels with a product rated for the local climate. - North/South: laser cutter systems and necessary exhaust (estimated $111,000) to support career/tech curricular equipment needs. - Holland Middle: bathroom tile upgrades and stair/landing flooring replacement in cafeteria seating areas (various modest estimates; total summer package estimated at roughly $4.35M in packet).
Committee members asked how the projects relate to the district’s master plan and the capital funding timeline. Administration confirmed the projects were prioritized within the master plan schedule and noted project estimates include escalation, soft costs and allowances. Administration also reiterated the need to coordinate project schedules to avoid bid conflicts and to manage contractor availability across several simultaneous work packages.
The committee asked for more detailed scopes and design packages prior to formal bid documents and emphasized the importance of sequencing to avoid bidding multiple large projects simultaneously. Staff will bring final scopes and recommended bidding strategies to the board during the business meeting cycle.
