Summary

The committee was told the drainage basin final closeout work is complete and Earth Dynamics’ final pay application is included in the invoices; one playground slide platform was scuffed during installation and the contractor plans a return visit to replace it after school lets out.

The School Building Committee received updates June 25 from the owner’s project manager on the drainage basin and playground work. Staff said the final closeout report for the basin has been received from Fussell O'Neill and the contractor completed a final step to release mulch so plantings could establish; the final pay application from Earth Dynamics is included in the invoices packet for release.

On the playground, staff said one last section of a slide platform was scuffed during installation. The contractor planned to return when school is out to swap that piece and complete the punch list; staff noted the platform swap was not technically in the contractor’s contract but the contractor agreed to address it.

The committee was shown photos of the acoustic panel removal and floor protection in the cafeteria; staff and the contractor said the replacement panels were laid out and panel installation was expected to begin the following week. Staff offered to share photos a week before the next meeting to allow committee members to see progress before the August substantial completion date.

The committee did not take any formal vote specifically on playground repairs; the Earth Dynamics final closeout invoice is part of the approved invoice packet.
