Board approves $882,125 environmental abatement and roof contract for Shepherdson Elementary
Summary
The district approved a two‑phase abatement and roof replacement contract with Element Environmental Services for Shepherdson Elementary totaling $882,125.25; staff said water intrusion necessitates repairs and the work will occur across 2026 and 2027.
Trustees authorized a contract on May 12 for abatement and roof replacement work at Shepherdson Elementary, approving Element Environmental Services to complete the project at a total cost of $882,125.25.
Chief finance officer Dave Montoya presented the item and said the building — constructed in 1978 — contained hazardous materials typical of that era and requires careful abatement and a two‑phase schedule because of the scope of work. "That is the total cost across both years," Montoya said in response to a board question about the two-phase timeline; he added the work will occur partly in 2026 and continue into 2027.
Board members asked for clarification on phasing and cost coverage; Montoya confirmed the contract amount covers both phases. Trustees voted unanimously, 7‑0, to authorize staff to execute the contract.
What’s next: staff will oversee the two‑phase abatement and roof replacement and return with typical construction reporting and timelines; the CFO also thanked voters for the debt-free mill levy that provides funding for capital projects.
