District reports wind damage to high-school roof, files insurance claims; repair options discussed
Summary
Facilities staff reported significant wind damage to the High School North (B Hall) roof and additional leaks at the Technology building following the June 12 storm; temporary fixes were made, insurance claims filed, and an overlay option (~$160,000) with a 20-year warranty was discussed.
The Edcouch-Elsa ISD facilities director reported wind-related roof damage from the June 12 storm during the June 19 board meeting, describing torn metal decking and a large area of roof failure at High School North (B Hall) and additional leaks at the Technology building.
Facilities staff said they called DL Johnson for a temporary fix to prevent further water intrusion and that they have filed insurance claims related to the storm. Staff also presented an overlay repair option for the Technology building estimated at approximately $160,000 using a product from a vendor represented as having a 20-year material warranty (JJ Roofing/Duralest). Trustees asked about warranties and whether damage from storms would be covered; staff said the overlay option includes warranty coverage for damage and wear.
Facilities indicated they would provide cost estimates and continue to work on insurance claims; trustees asked for further follow-up after estimates are prepared and claims processed.
Next steps: finalize cost estimates, continue insurance filings, and present repair bids and schedules to the board for authorization.
