Committee approves fire‑safety, boiler and maintenance contracts, plus field house change order
Summary
The board approved a package of maintenance contracts and payments including a Pye Barker fire‑safety contract ($65,240), an ESE sprinkler piping inspection ($39,000), classroom hallway flooring recoating ($6,134), boiler application payments and a $19,537 field‑house change order.
The East Stroudsburg Area School District properties and facilities committee approved multiple maintenance contracts, payment applications and one change order during its May 6 meeting.
Key approvals: the committee voted to award the annual fire‑safety and suppression inspection contract to Pye Barker for $65,240; the board also approved a $39,000 contract for a detailed sprinkler piping inspection for the ESE building and a $6,134 quote to screen and recoat hallways at JML. The committee moved and seconded each item and approved them by voice vote.
Boilers and change orders: project managers reported that JBM Mechanical is set to begin heating‑related work next week for boiler replacements at JT Lambert and Smithfield; the committee approved invoice payment applications and accepted a $19,537 change order for the South Field House after engineers found the existing hot‑water loop needed upsized piping and circulation work to meet the new boilers' flow requirements.
Staff rationale and vendor selection: in the fire‑safety review staff noted that some bidders outsource parts of the work while Pye Barker (packet: Piebarker/Pye Barker) was described as an authorized Notifier dealer able to meet the district's full scope, which drove the recommendation despite a lower CentOS quote. Environmental services recommended contracting Wayfair Sports Flooring for hallway recoating while doing classroom recoats in‑house.
What happens next: staff will finalize the selected vendor contracts and proceed with required scheduling and payment processing. Several items were packaged as consent items and approved together; the board reaffirmed those votes and then adjourned.
