Facilities update: JBAC bubble on track, work orders rising and power delays stall athletic lights
Summary
Facilities staff reported completion metrics and capital-project updates: the JBAC inflatable (bubble) is nearly ready for a Dec. 1 opening; October saw roughly 785 incoming work orders and 986 completions across months; power activations for field lights are pending JCP&L scheduling.
The district’s buildings and grounds staff presented routine capital and maintenance updates. Facilities reported the JBAC inflatable (the seasonal “bubble”) is nearly complete and on schedule for a Dec. 1 opening, and that health‑and‑safety evaluations have been submitted to the New Jersey Department of Education for compliance review.
Mr. Madigan, facilities director, provided work‑order throughput figures: roughly 785 incoming work orders in October and about 986 completed work orders (including carryover items) over the reporting window, averaging roughly 42 completions per day during the busiest period. He offered to provide monthly breakdowns by trade and to highlight long‑standing items.
Staff described delays getting JCP&L (First Energy) on site to activate power for athletic field lights; they said a DCOMU request was submitted and the team sought assistance from a local assemblyman’s office to expedite service. Facilities also reported boiler replacement bidding at Intermediate North (encumbered in the capital budget) and ongoing work with the vendor Viola on a misplaced water meter at High School South.
No formal board action was taken; staff agreed to provide more detailed monthly maintenance reports on work‑order status and trade categories going forward.
