High school moisture mitigation and board HVAC upgrades: demo done, mitigation underway; staff to monitor pull tests
Summary
Staff reported demolition of nearly all second-floor classrooms and that moisture mitigation installation has begun; a mock-up classroom was approved and pull tests will verify flooring adhesion after the required 28-day cure period. Board also received updates on multiple HVAC projects and AHU installation delays tied to subcontractor scheduling and wiring changes.
Staff gave a progress update on multiple Board of Education projects, with the high school moisture mitigation occupying much of the discussion.
Staff member (speaker 3) said crews have completed demolition of most second-floor classrooms and that moisture-mitigation materials were installed in selected rooms earlier this week. The contractor had staged a mock-up classroom with the new flooring and finishes for staff review; staff said Ashley reviewed the mock-up and "gave her thumbs up" on the colors and appearance. Staff said they plan to perform pull tests to verify the contractor’s installation and that full testing requires a 28-day cure period after the material is installed.
The board emphasized tracking daily progress by square footage so staff can verify how much work crews complete each day over the summer; staff said the project area this summer is about 50,000 square feet and that the other floor will be completed next summer as part of a two-summer program.
Separately, the board reviewed HVAC work at other facilities. Presenter (speaker 4) updated the board on AHU 2 and reported that piping work, duct measurements and coordination with electrical contractors are underway. The team changed to ProPress (push-to-connect) fittings to reduce brazing and odor during demo and to speed installation. Staff also described a roughly $30,000 change order for new wiring and a few thousand dollars for valves; staff said the project still has contingency available and remains within budget.
Next steps: staff will perform pull tests on selected flooring areas after the cure period, continue weekly monitoring of the contractor’s progress, and process the change order(s) for the AHU/electrical work as needed.
