District outlines multiple facility upgrades; recommends $128,393 contract for middle-school flooring repairs
Loading...
Summary
Facilities staff reviewed recent and ongoing projects across Oconee County Schools and recommended awarding DCO Commercial Floors a $128,393 proposal to repair flooring adhesive issues in the oldest part of a county middle school, funded from e-SPLOST; no board vote was recorded at the work session.
Mister Ricketson presented an operations and facilities update that covered recent work during spring break and projects in design. He reported completion of the Oconee Primary driveway pavement (striping to be added after curing), a new well and septic at the transportation site, press-box HVAC upgrades at Oconee County High School, outdoor activity-area paving at Oconee Elementary, and a new walking track at Malcolm Bridge Elementary.
The nut graf: As the single action item, Ricketson recommended awarding a contract to DCO Commercial Floors to repair flooring adhesive failures in the oldest part of a county middle school at a proposal cost of $128,393 to be paid from e-SPLOST funds. He described the work as removing the old flooring, prepping the slab, and using a special adhesive designed to mitigate recurring failures.
Board members asked about whether the adhesive solution had been used elsewhere; Ricketson said the problem is age-related (older buildings with vapor-barrier degradation) and that the contractor's process has been used successfully before. The recommendation was presented to the board for approval at a future meeting; no final vote was recorded during the work session.
