Hempfield board moves forward on high school turf design, lists installers and owner's representative
Summary
The Hempfield Area School District placed on its Feb. 16 working-meeting agenda a $283,000 contract to design four new high school turf fields and motions to procure turf and installation through cooperative purchasing; the district also listed hiring an owner's representative and an $18,480.90 asbestos consulting change order tied to the high school renovation.
The Hempfield Area School District board on Feb. 16 moved to hire James T. Sauer of McKinley Sports to design four new synthetic turf fields for the high school, with the professional design contract shown in the agenda at $283,000 and to be paid from the district’s GOB 2022 Fund.
The agenda also lists motions to purchase the turf surfaces from Keystone Sports Construction and to contract Force Turf Solutions for installation through Co-Stars cooperative agreements; the total procurement and installation amounts were recorded in the agenda as To Be Determined. The district proposed funding the turf project from the GOB 2022 Fund.
In addition to the turf contract and purchase motions, the board listed hiring McKinley Architectural Services to serve as the district’s owner's representative during construction of the High School Additions and Renovation Project. The agenda also includes Change Order #1 from Terracon Consultants, Inc. (identified as the parent company of Skelly & Loy) adding $18,480.90 for additional asbestos consulting services (145 additional hours and 357 additional samples), with those expenses assigned to the GOB 2022 Fund.
The projects and procurement items appear together on the Buildings & Grounds/Transportation section of the agenda; the document shows committee-level sponsorship from Buildings & Grounds Chair Vince DeAugustine. The agenda text does not record a public discussion transcript or a final vote outcome for these individual procurement motions.
Next steps listed in the agenda include solicitor review where noted (for contract approvals) and the formal motions as recommendations for the board to act on during a voting meeting.
