Summary

Operations Committee moved multiple capital items to the full board, notably a $1,612,269.53 Burrow Construction change order for a Doe Run Elementary water‑main extension (within the project budget but with a likely additional insurance shortfall) and a $601,497.70 Verkada camera package for the new Doe Run facility; trustees said most work is included in construction budgets or grant-funded items.

The Operations Committee on Feb. 10 advanced several construction and security items for full‑board consideration, including a major Doe Run Elementary change order and a comprehensive security‑camera package.

Officials described a Burrow Construction change order to extend a water main at Doe Run Elementary with a total proposed cost of $1,612,269.53. Speakers said the item is within the project’s budgeted amount but noted the district’s insurance denied one claim, and staff expect an additional insurance shortfall of roughly $154,000 that will be clarified at the end-of-month meeting.

Separately, the committee recommended approval of a Verkada camera package for the Doe Run Elementary building — 125 cameras with installation and project management — at a cost of $601,497.70. District staff said the camera work and other network/access control items are included in the new school’s construction budget and some elements were paid for with grant funds previously obtained for the project. The committee also discussed related items: roof replacements, change‑order credits and a Pennsylvania American Water Company agreement for water‑facility line extension contingent on solicitor review.

Trustees asked questions about budget impacts and reimbursement (architect/insurance credits) and recommended that items be moved to the full board agenda for final approval and solicitor review where required.
