Board hears multiple weather-related facility failures; authorizes advertising bids for High School fire alarm replacement
Summary
Buildings & Grounds Supervisor Bradon Smith reported broken sprinkler lines, a failing 20-year air handler, boiler and rooftop unit repairs, and an aging High School fire alarm system. The board authorized advertising bids to replace the High School fire alarm system.
During administrative reports the board heard from Buildings & Grounds Supervisor Bradon Smith about multiple weather-related facility failures, including frozen lines that broke a sprinkler line (requiring emergency repair), a deteriorating 20-year-old air handler serving the gym and cafeteria, a repaired boiler issue, and work on a rooftop unit. Smith also reported that the Claymont High School fire alarm system is at its end of life, with alarms going off spontaneously and replacement parts becoming difficult to obtain.
Separately, under superintendent recommendations the board authorized the district to advertise bids for fire alarm replacement at Claymont High School. The authorization was recorded among approved superintendent items and will proceed to the bid advertisement phase per the district's procurement process.
