District details summer construction: Mohawk remediation, Ottawa restroom/cafeteria work, lockers and paving
Summary
Administration told trustees that summer change orders include Mohawk gym flooring remediation (~$30,000), Ottawa cafeteria and extensive restroom refresh (mirrors, sinks, new plumbing, potential urinal replacement), 25 art‑room lockers at Dakota High, and concrete paving at Erie Elementary. Some items require landlord/leasing and state approvals and pending quotes.
District staff briefed the board on multiple summer construction and facility items that were included in the change‑order summary.
Mohawk gym: staff described a remediation for Mohawk gym flooring (memo A) at an estimated unit price and totaling nearly $30,000 to proceed with replacement; the item was included among those exceeding $10,000 flagged for attention.
Ottawa cafeteria and restrooms: memo B covers the cafeteria LVT replacement and adjacent bathrooms damaged by a leak. Staff reported demo is complete, chase walls and new plumbing are being built, and new sinks will be installed. Trustees and staff agreed the project scope expanded beyond a simple leak repair to a more complete refresh (mirrors, sinks, ceiling tiles, partitions and possibly urinals). Administration said urinal replacement pricing was pending and will return as a change order in August.
Other summer work: administration asked trustees to approve furnishing and installing 25 three‑tier art lockers for Dakota High; a selective concrete paving contract at Erie Elementary will repair sections (around catch basins) after a recent fall was reported; a district sign will be refinished with tube lighting/electrical work expected next month. Staff noted some pod restrooms and leased classroom plumbing require landlord and state approvals and may be tied off or removed when pods are decommissioned.
Timing and oversight: staff said most projects are on a summer timeline aimed at minimizing classroom disruptions; some items may conclude shortly after the school year begins. All change orders discussed were to be included in tonight's board agenda per the subcommittee's recommendation.
What happens next: staff will return with final pricing on items not yet bid (urinals, lighting) and proceed with approved purchases and installations that fall within contingency and bond funding.
