Board approves bidding for priority summer facilities projects, including elevator modernizations and asphalt repairs
Summary
Trustees authorized staff to solicit bids for priority 1 and 1.5 summer projects: elevator ADA/key-fob retrofits, a boiler replacement, asphalt repairs (~$186,000), core network switch (~$115,000), and several parent-funded upgrades including a pledged $342,000 play-structure replacement at Havens.
Facilities staff presented a prioritized list of proposed summer 2026 projects and the recommended funding plan. Key priority 1 items included elevator ADA access/key-fob retrofit (ROM $33,000), replacement of an aging 1961 boiler (ROM ~$220,000), large-area asphalt repairs (total ROM ~$186,000), and modernization of aging elevators; an IT core switch replacement (ROM ~$115,000) and district-wide bottle-filler installations were also discussed.
Staff noted parent groups had pledged significant funding for some projects (for example, Havens play-structure replacement, pledge ~$342,000). Trustees questioned deferred-maintenance risks and the small annual routine restricted-maintenance reserve; after discussion the board voted to allow staff to proceed to bid for the priority 1 and 1.5 projects and to return with contract awards and final costs for board approval.
