Board authorizes bidding work with WTI/Tremco to address stadium leaks
Summary
The Saucon Valley board directed administration to work with WTI/Tremco on pricing and solicit bids to fix water infiltration from the stadium into locker rooms and electrical spaces; the presenter said the proposed approach includes a 10‑year warranty.
The Saucon Valley School Board voted to authorize administration to work with consultants WTI and Tremco to seek pricing and bids to repair water infiltration at the district stadium.
A WTI/Tremco representative described prior work on the district’s roofs and auditorium and proposed Tremco products and a contractor process to address leaks that have impacted locker rooms and electrical panels underneath the stadium. The presenter said previous repairs lasted only about two years; the proposed solution carries a 10‑year warranty.
Facilities staff described operational benefits of recent equipment investments, including a snow‑clearing machine that reduces bus‑clearing time and staff exposure to injury. “It worked very well ... it takes us about an hour, if that,” said Mister Degan, describing the staff safety benefits from mechanized clearing.
The board’s motion directed administration to obtain pricing and bids and returned the matter for future reporting; no contract award was made at the meeting. The decision authorizes the next procurement steps so the district can evaluate contractor proposals and cost estimates before any contract is authorized.
What’s next: Administration will solicit bids with WTI/Tremco and return to the board with proposals and cost estimates for formal contract approval.
