Glynn County Schools seeks approvals for multiple capital projects, including $2.425 million Sterling Elementary reroof

Mr. Haywood, presenting the facilities update, asked the board to approve a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) of $359,095 from R.H. Tyson Construction for Phase 5 of the board‑office renovation, which converts the old cafeteria into a large training room and updates the boardroom and executive conference space. He said the GMP includes a $20,000 allowance to address masonry repairs around the former kitchen area and that the funding source would be local capital outlay. "I'm asking the board to please approve the guaranteed maximum price of $359,095.00," he said.

Haywood also requested approval for Knight Hardware Flooring of Lawrenceville to replace the Glenn Middle School gym floor for $165,985, funded through East Floss 5 and contracted via Sourcewell. He said an inspection found termite damage beneath the playing surface; Yates Astra will treat the slab and perimeter before new flooring is installed as a summer project that should take about a week and a half. "The current gym floor has extensive termite damage…we're just going to go ahead and demo that entire floor," he said.

On the Sterling Elementary roofing project, Haywood recommended awarding Southeast Roofing Solutions (SRS) of Statesboro a $2,425,000 contract after proposals were opened 01/20/2026 on the Georgia Procurement Registry. He said the work would begin in late May with most noisy work scheduled after the last day of school and that the district plans to replace the current shingle roof with a standing‑seam metal roof to extend service life and improve wind/hurricane resilience. Haywood said SRS proposed fastening to bar joists rather than a tec‑deck option for better structural performance in coastal weather.

He also asked the board to declare five district vehicles as surplus and to auction them via GovDeals. Haywood said the vehicles logged high city‑mileages (about 150,000–200,000) and that GovDeals charges a minimal processing fee (around 2%) but handles title and payment logistics.

None of the procurement requests in this segment show a formal vote recorded in the transcript; board members asked scheduling and warranty questions and were told contingency funds remain from prior phases. The work session later recorded unanimous procedural votes to enter and exit executive session and to adjourn, but the record does not show board votes for the individual capital items during the public session.
