Facilities director outlines multi-site capital needs including energy-management, drainage and major roofing estimates
Summary
Bridgeforth presented a capital-projects overview noting a $20,000 energy-management proposal for Plasco, drainage and slab work estimated at roughly $50,000 per site for Minor Hill and Elkton, and roofing restoration averages of about $30,000 per building (six buildings estimated at roughly $180,000) with a potential full reroof at Richland approaching $450,000.
At the meeting27s old-business segment, Bridgeforth presented a multi-site capital-projects plan that prioritized an energy-management system, drainage and slab repairs, door-hardware replacements, painting and roofing restorations.
Bridgeforth recommended installing an energy-management system at Plasco to add roughly 50 sensors and allow remote scheduling and temperature control; he estimated that work at about $20,000. He described drainage fixes at a cafeteria leading to the gym and slab work at the back of another building, giving rough estimates of $32,000 and about $18,000 respectively and suggesting roughly $50,000 for certain Minor Hill repairs and similar sums at Elkton to prevent water intrusion at ground-level doors.
On roofing, Bridgeforth summarized vendor estimates (sourced from satellite measurements and contractor visits) with per-building restoration ranges commonly between $15,000 and $40,000. Using a working average of $30,000 for six buildings, he estimated about $180,000 to address multiple roofs; he also said a full reroof at Richland could approach $450,000 if replacement rather than restoration is required. Bridgeforth told the board he is awaiting formal binders from additional vendors, including John Kennedy Roofing and Corel Roofing, to compare quotes, photographs and warranty options.
"For 20,000, I can do the whole old part of the building," Bridgeforth said of the proposed energy-management sensors, and he urged the board to allow staff to collect full written bids before committing to larger projects.
No formal vote on capital projects occurred; Bridgeforth will return with vendor binders and more detailed cost comparisons for board consideration.
