Southern York County SD contractor recommends $712,275 addendum to coat Shrewsbury skylights and standing‑seam roofs

Mister Buffet, a presenter for SiteLogic, recommended that the Southern York County School District add a $712,275 package to this summer’s roofing work to apply a clear glaze to skylights and a protective finish to standing‑seam metal roofs at Shrewsbury Elementary. SiteLogic said the work would include all standing seams, skylights and small overhangs identified in the scope and would be performed by a local subcontractor, Raintree Services of Jacobus, Pennsylvania.

Damien Small, identified in the presentation as a project executive from SiteLogic, told the board the district originally advertised the package at $1,000,000 and initially estimated $765,000 before refining the recommended amount to $712,275. Small said the coatings come with two 10‑year warranties and that manufacturers and subcontractors typically project practical life in the 10–15 year range. "When we talk to these subcontractors and to the manufacturers, they talk about 10 to 15 years," Small said.

Board members asked whether the orange overhang areas and all standing seam segments were included in the price; SiteLogic confirmed they were included. The presentation emphasized three operational reasons for the work: (1) skylights provide daylight to interior classrooms that lack exterior windows, (2) coatings reduce water infiltration at skylights, and (3) performing the coating work alongside the district’s existing summer project preserves schedule and can yield cost efficiencies.

SiteLogic proposed a pre‑work mock‑up for color and fit—potentially installed during spring break—so the district can evaluate finish and reduce summer risk. The firm also told trustees it had worked with multiple subcontractors and did not expect significant change‑order risk for the glazing portion of the scope.

The recommendation is not a board approval. SiteLogic noted that a Guaranteed Energy Savings Act addendum (to permit the standing seam and skylight coatings under the district’s energy savings framework) and the grant resolution to permit application work would appear on the board agenda on Thursday for consideration. No procurement award or contract was approved at this meeting.
