Board advances multiple roof restorations and facility purchases toward Nov. 25 consent agenda

At the Nov. 18 Committee of the Whole, the Harrisburg City School District administration presented multiple facilities and operations items for placement on the Nov. 25 consent agenda, including roof restorations and a vehicle purchase.

Administration recommended contracting with Weatherproofing Technology, Inc. through the KPN purchasing cooperative for roof restoration work at several buildings: Lincoln Elementary (total cost $593,988.45), Scitec ($493,527.47), Camp Curtin ($672,248.35) and Foos Elementary ($376,459.20 as presented on the agenda). The projects were described as part of the 2025–26 capital improvement plan, with contracts pending solicitor review.

Board members asked about warranty coverage, project sequencing and whether grant funding might be available to offset costs. Administration said roof work is managed as part of a 10-year capital plan; some sections of roofs were previously repaired and warranties vary by building. On grants, administration said the public-school facilities grant may reopen in future cycles and that roof projects are often included in those funding rounds.

Operations also recommended listing obsolete district items on a municipal bidding website to auction to the highest bidder, and the purchase of a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado for facilities use at $47,677. Administration said the district will apply credit from a totaled vehicle (approx. $35,863.54) toward the purchase, reducing the net replacement cost.

All items were moved forward to the 11/25/2025 consent agenda for formal approval and remain pending solicitor review where applicable.
