Facilities committee previews roughly $50,000 dumpster‑enclosure proposal for high‑school campus
Summary
Committee reviewed vendor quotes to enclose the high‑school dumpster area and discussed using the district capital reserve fund; members asked staff to collect additional quotes and tabled a decision for summer work and budgeting.
During the facilities portion of the meeting, a committee member presented options to enclose and repave the high‑school waste collection area to improve appearance and site function.
The presenter shared multiple vendor line items: a Promax quote of approximately $32,007.07, a full‑paving cost listed at $3,720 and Clayton’s Concrete at about $14,000, giving a combined total the presenter cited as roughly $50,004.5. The committee discussed components (steel fence, concrete pad sized about 48 by 26 feet, removal of curbing and re‑paving) and possible reductions (leaving existing curbing to reduce cost by about $3,007.20).
Members discussed operational concerns with the borough pick‑up and food‑service dumpsters, and funding options. One member noted the bids could be paid from the capital reserve fund and said the fund “currently has about 5 and a half and $16,000” (as described in the meeting). Committee members asked staff to gather additional quotes, consider temporary adjustments for graduation and events, and revisit the project in a summer budget cycle.
Several members suggested lower‑cost alternatives (temporary relocation for events, painting or landscaping) and agreed to “table” the project pending more detail and additional vendor responses.
