Ice storm damaged campus roofing and HVAC; superintendent flags capital needs
Summary
Facilities staff told the board an ice storm caused flooding and roughly $15,000 in AC-unit damage, required ServiceMaster mitigation, and identified a $46,000 replacement need for a major cafeteria HVAC unit plus other long-term HVAC and insulation projects for budgeting.
Facilities staff described damage from a recent ice storm and outlined repair and budget needs. ServiceMaster was engaged to dry and mitigate water intrusion, and only a small section (about 15 linear feet) of drywall needs replacement. Staff said the high-school roof’s ice sliding crushed several rooftop AC units and the canopy over the middle-school courtyard collapsed; Gallagher is being consulted for an estimate on canopy replacement.
On capital needs, staff reported that one 20-ton cafeteria HVAC unit had been out since October and would cost about $46,000 to replace; multiple older units (15–23 years old) and water heaters will need replacement over time. Facilities staff said they installed an internal shutoff valve to reduce building-wide water shutdowns and plan insulation and window repairs. Trustees asked about roof type and low-cost ice-mitigation options; staff committed to investigate attachments and insulation solutions.
