Board discusses construction close‑out, warranties and ongoing maintenance needs
Summary
Trustees reviewed final construction payments, warranty expirations on the new building and maintenance needs such as restroom repairs and gym floor work; superintendent noted the district paid the construction manager and is addressing lingering repair/warranty items.
Board members reviewed construction close‑out items after the recent bond projects. Trustees were told the construction manager at risk received final payment and the district now owns and is maintaining completed facilities. The superintendent noted warranty expirations and cited an example: "We spent $14,300,000 and you get a 1 year warranty," and discussed follow‑up with the contractor on items such as locked doors, restroom stalls and paint that is peeling in the crow's nest.
Trustees discussed in‑house maintenance accomplishments — eleven classroom floors completed by district crews this summer — and asked for follow‑up on warranty repairs and whether contractors will address unresolved punch‑list items. The board emphasized cautious use of fund balance for maintenance and capital needs while monitoring the timing and costs to call bonds or refinance when appropriate.
