September 12, 2006, Board of Education meeting
Funding
Requisition
Bond
Project Manager Mr. Maready requested the board approve a
requisition for the Newport Elementary School 5th grade wing
HVAC replacement in the amount of $80,937. The equipment in that wing
failed prior to the opening of school. Instead of spending maintenance
money on the project, which would be handled in the overall HVAC
renovations as part of the bond work, it was decided to segregate that
area and complete the work in order to provide cooling when school
started.
Bill Blair made motion for the funding requisition for Newport
Elementary School in the amount of $80,937 with a $3,000 contingency.
Adele Collins provided the second and all members voted aye.
Mr. Maready said the only enhancement that remained would be the
controls and perhaps some additional insulation after the overall HVAC
work was completed.
Project
Ordinance Amendment Requisitions
Mr. Maready requested the Board consider two Project Ordinance Amendment
Requisitions.
1 – The first
Project Ordinance Amendment Requisition request was for the White Oak
Elementary School gym roof replacement in the amount of $73,752.
2 – The second Project Ordinance Amendment Requisition was for the
White Oak Elementary School gym HVAC work in the amount of $134,000. The
system will feature packaged heat pumps with reheat coils for
dehumidification and supplemental heat.
Adele Collins made the motion to approve the two project ordinance
amendment requisitions for White Oak Elementary School as presented.
Bill Blair provided the second and all members voted aye.
The Project Ordinance Amendment Requisitions will be presented to the
County Commissioners for consideration.
Update
on Bond Projects
Mr. Maready updated the Board on the following bond projects:
Door renovation and window replacement scope of work development is
complete. School system staff is reviewing the scope of work for
compatibility with existing policy. Bids will be reviewed in late
September and work should begin in late October.
The Beaufort Middle School roof replacement is in progress.
The Broad Creek Middle School roof replacement will begin this month.
The condition of White Oak Elementary School’s gym has been considered
an emergency. Stanford White Associates (SWA) has provided the HVAC
design and Roof Engineering, Inc. (REI) has provided the roof
replacement design. Bids will be received by September 15 and work will
begin as soon as possible.
SWA representatives and school system staff are preparing for a final
review of the HVAC design on several bond projects.
