District to pursue SMGP-funded galvanized piping replacement; state to reimburse ~50%
Summary
Dr. Wildes said the district's School Maintenance Grant Program application covers replacement of roughly 260 linear feet of galvanized cold-water piping; base bid is about $100,000 with a 50% state match, and combining alternates brings total project cost to approximately $156,600 and an estimated district share of $106,000 after reimbursement.
Dr. Douglas Wildes briefed the committee on a School Maintenance Grant Program (SMGP) project to replace aging galvanized piping in the building. He said the base bid covers approximately 260 linear feet of cold-water and cold-water return piping from the boiler room to the locker room area with an estimated base cost near $100,000; the SMGP program provides a 50% reimbursement for eligible work.
Wildes said additional alternate work to replace adjacent hot-water and hot-water return piping while walls and floors are open would increase the total to about $156,600; with the 50% reimbursement the district's estimated final share would be roughly $106,000 after the state match. Administration characterized the work as addressing ongoing maintenance needs more permanently rather than relying on repeated interim repairs by district staff.
