Board hears $373,322 increase for Deer Path/Olson Anderson Center, UGI gas conversion and elevator repair
Summary
District facilities staff reported a $373,322.54 revision to the Deer Path/Olson Anderson Center budget—primarily for a UGI natural gas connection and TK freight elevator repairs—and summarized district capital projects with $2.4M revised estimates.
The Susquehanna Township School Board received a capital projects funding update showing adjustments to the Deer Path/Olson Anderson Center and other district projects.
The district’s project manager (Speaker 11) said materials shown covered transactions from July 1 through Dec. 1 and explained that two additions—the UGI natural gas conversion and repair of a freight elevator (TK elevator)—accounted for most of a $373,322.54 increase to the Deer Path project estimate. Speaker 11 also reported a $98,772 adjustment to fees for EI Associates and other supplemental costs across the district’s portfolio of capital work.
Board members asked for clarification about pay‑to‑date invoices, contractor punch lists and responsibility for the gas line run from the street to the building. The presenter said UGI is responsible for gas service to the meter at the building, while inside‑building work is the district’s responsibility; final punch‑list completion will precede final contractor payments.
The update covered additional projects—HVAC controls, rooftop unit replacements, gym bleachers, high‑school landscaping and removal of two modular classrooms—with combined revised totals of roughly $2.4 million (a $140,000 increase from the prior June presentation), and about $1,000,000 in invoices paid to date.
Speaker 11 cited a June 12 Finance Committee presentation for earlier budget estimates and said the Deer Path revised total is now higher by $373,322.54 due to the items noted. No board action to change project scopes or authorize new funding beyond presented revisions was taken at the meeting; board members requested follow‑up on final inspection scheduling and contract payment timing.
