Summary
A Palumbo Group / Clark Patterson Lee representative told the board that Phase 1 of the 2022 capital bond is substantively complete, punch-list work remains, and Phase 2 (including high-school rooms) and Phase 3 (HVAC and field work) have target summer start and completion windows.
A representative for Palumbo Group and Clark Patterson Lee updated the South Orangetown Central School District Board of Education on progress under the district's 2022 capital bond, describing Phase 1 substantially complete and detailing timelines for remaining work.
The presenter said Phase 1 substantial completion was recorded on Aug. 23 and that district staff and contractors are closing out punch-list items. Phase 1 work covered four schools and included HVAC replacements, new casework, ACM (asbestos-containing material) remediation where needed, new outdoor classroom spaces and other interior renovations.
Phase 2 work focused on additional high-school wings: the consultant reported renovations to classrooms, new HVAC and data lines, and boiler and nurse-suite work. The board was given an implementation window for Phase 2 field work beginning June 26 with a projected substantial completion in late August (dates presented in the consultant's slides). Phase 2a includes a high-school auditorium renovation with electrical and stage upgrades, accessible seating, and production lighting and sound improvements; submittals from successful contractors are under review.
Phase 3 includes third-floor HVAC renovations, athletic-field renovations, renovation of 18 classrooms and an administrative suite at Tappan Zee High School. The presenter said approvals and bid processes are complete and contractors have submitted submittals ahead of a projected summer start.
Board members thanked the presenter and acknowledged remaining issues to resolve, noting that much preparatory work occurred before the current board's term. The facilities committee will continue to review protection, pack-and-move plans and construction schedules ahead of the voter-related calendar for capital work.
