Kenyon‑Wanamingo board approves $13.21M indoor air quality overhaul with 17‑year payback
Summary
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo School Board approved the most comprehensive option for its Sitelogic indoor air quality project — a $13,209,812 package that the board said will be repaid over 17 years. The vote was 6‑0.
The Kenyon‑Wanamingo School Board voted July 28 to accept the most comprehensive scope for a district indoor air quality (IAQ) project, approving a $13,209,812 plan with a 17‑year payback schedule.
Superintendent Pat Heiderscheit reviewed three options presented by Sitelogic: the original scope at $10,674,000; a scope adding fire alarm and heating hot‑water quality upgrades at $11,874,500; and the full‑needs package that includes 1954 ventilation work at $13,209,812. The board approved the third option by motion (M/S/C Syverson/Lindell) on a 6‑0 vote.
Board members framed the vote as an investment in health and safety across district facilities. The motion to accept option three was recorded in the minutes; the board did not record further public comment on implementation timelines or contractor scheduling at this meeting.
Next steps noted in the record include moving forward with the chosen scope and coordinating funding as part of the district’s facilities financing plan. The board also separately adopted a resolution indicating intent to issue facilities maintenance bonds to help finance projects in the district’s ten‑year plan.
