Board approves roof replacement at North Surrey High; district to cover about $130,345 after insurance
Summary
The board approved a contract to replace the failed roof on North Surrey High’s H building after a competitive bid; insurance will cover most costs, leaving Surry County Schools responsible for about $130,344.55 from capital outlay funds.
The board authorized a replacement of the failed built-up modified bitumen roof on North Surrey High School’s H Building after receiving bid results and an insurance determination.
Facilities director Doug Dixon explained that the 2015 roof had saturated insulation in multiple areas and that investigations (core samples and engineering reviews) were inconclusive about a single cause. The district’s insurer agreed to replace the insulation and the roof with like-kind materials but applied depreciation; Dixon said the low bid from GMG (Lexington) resulted in a replacement cost of roughly $551,430 before accounting for depreciation and deductible.
Dixon explained the insurer reduced the claim by depreciation ($105,003.54) and the district had an existing deductible; after prior payments the insurer will issue approximately $396,095, leaving Surry County Schools responsible for approximately $130,344.55. Board members confirmed the expense will be covered from the district’s capital outlay budget.
A motion to proceed with the replacement passed by voice vote after the board determined the work needed to prevent continued leaks and additional damage.
Next steps: the district will execute the contract with the awarded bidder and schedule the roof replacement work; financing will come from the capital outlay fund as presented.
