Board hears options for crumbling track; full replacement could cost about $1 million
Summary
Administrators reported the concrete underneath the district track is deteriorating and presented three options — full replacement with curbing (~$1,069,000), replacement without curbing (~$999,000), or continue patching for another year — with core testing from Terracon expected to confirm subsurface conditions.
Board members were briefed on the condition of the high-school track: Dr. Myers said the concrete under the track is crumbling and the district has commissioned Terracon for geotechnical core samples to assess the subgrade. He described three paths: replace the track and curbing (estimate about $1,069,000), replace the track without curbing (about $999,000) or continue patching for another year; he added a possible $94,000 stabilizer if subgrade work is required.
Dr. Myers cautioned that replacing the curbing (the original pour) increases scope and cost, and noted competing capital demands including roof quotes of about $1.8 million for Wiley Elementary and Holcomb Elementary. He said initial testing results were expected May 23 and the board may need to act next month depending on Terracon’s findings.
