Board hears elevator and HVAC problems; approves Target Sports for track resurfacing
Summary
Building committee reported a nonfunctional middle-school elevator and a failing high-school HVAC control that caused very high temperatures in the wrestling room; trustees approved the track-resurfacing bid for Target Sports and discussed a $22,000 cost trade-off related to track colors.
Trustees heard a facilities report noting a nonfunctional elevator at the middle school and control problems with the high-school HVAC system, including an instance when the wrestling room reached about 107°F. The building committee discussed options including a full elevator replacement (discussion mentioned an approximate $250,000 figure) and combining roof and HVAC work to reduce disruption.
On the track resurfacing project, the committee reviewed three bids and recommended the lowest qualified bidder. Trustees approved awarding the contract to Target Sports after discussion about experience and costs. The committee also explained a color-cost trade-off: installing only the district’s primary color (purple) rather than purple and gold would reduce the project cost by roughly $22,000.
Trustees emphasized accessibility for students with mobility needs when discussing the elevator and noted that HVAC repairs are expected to be costly. Facilities staff were directed to finalize contract details with Target Sports and return with next steps and contract documents.
What’s next: Facilities will pursue contracting with Target Sports and return to the board with a finalized contract and schedule; administration will provide more detailed cost estimates and options for elevator remediation.
