School Summer Maintenance Projects

RANDOLPH, Utah.  March 23, 2016.   Rick Limb, School Maintenance Director, had a list of items to be worked on this coming summer.  He noted that a walk-in cooler and freezer needs to be purchased and installed.  The cost will be approximately $2,860.

The roof repair will cost about $38,500.  Steve Ackinson has bid on this project.

The floors at BATC need to be redone.  There have been three bids submitted for this project. The lowest bid is currently $3,235.

Floors in the high school, middle school and elementary schools’ rest rooms and locker room will be tiled during the summer.  The cost for this will be about $89,515.

Several trees need to be removed and/or trimmed.  The bids currently received are for $8,950 and $9,050. 

A fire alarm needs to be installed at the middle school and elementary in Laketown.   Limb felt that the same model and type should be used so that repairs and care will not require different companies.  The cost will be $46,787.

A cook top, two ovens, and counter tops need to be replaced in the kitchen in Randolph.  The cook top will cost $7,200.  Two ovens cost $13,400, and the counter tops will cost about $3,500.

The total amount of the budget to be used for maintenance this coming summer is about $244,735. This does not include a back-up generator that had been discussed in the past.

It was noted that perhaps the school board should consider getting a back-up generator that is large enough to handle more than just the computer servers, and freezer/cooler.  In many communities, the school becomes the place where people are housed and taken care of in an emergency.  Perhaps the school board should look into a generator large enough to handle all electrical requirements making it possible that the schools could fill that role if a disaster happened.

The motion was made and passed that  Limb go ahead with getting the needed bids and moving forward with the summer maintenance plans that presented to the Board.
