Wyoming County Schools board hears multi-site update on bond-funded construction
Summary
McKinley project staff gave the board a status report on six active bond-funded construction projects — including a CTC building, electrical upgrades, a gym replacement and a water-treatment plant design — and described timing, mobilizations and coordination with site contractor SQ.
McKinley project managers gave the Wyoming County Schools board an update on multiple active projects funded by the district’s facilities bond.
Christian Rivera, a McKinley project manager introduced at the start of the meeting, said the firm is managing six active projects across the county. He said the recently bid CTC building was awarded to Dan Hill "for right around $3 million" and that the bid came in under the bond allowance, with site mobilization and pre‑engineered building lead times expected to drive near‑term activity. "Bond projects are phenomenal in the sense that you get to see a lot of change within the community pretty quickly," Rivera said.
Rivera and McKinley colleagues described other work on the schedule: electrical upgrades at several schools that are 90% through QA/QC, a planned gym replacement with stakeholder meetings set to refine floor design, and a water‑treatment plant that McKinley will design alongside CDC (a civil/structural firm) with surveying and environmental work under way. Several projects are staged to avoid disrupting instruction, and the gym work is being eyed for summer 2026 to minimize conflicts with school and sports schedules.
Staff and contractors also discussed a site that lacked required water pressure for a sprinkler system. Project leads said they are coordinating with the county water project to complete a flow test and establish a nearby hydrant; if pressure improvements do not meet requirements, the district would have to install an on‑site holding tank and fire pump, a costlier option the team wants to avoid.
Site superintendent Jason Phillips and SQ project manager Chad Justice were identified as on‑site leads McKinley uses for daily coordination. Board members were offered photos and timeline updates; staff said they hold weekly design meetings and will return with further schedule and budget details as construction progresses.
The discussion was informational; no new contract awards were taken at the meeting and staff said they will return with additional updates and potential requests for board action as work advances.
