track. There will be 8 classrooms that will not be completed by the start of school and will be phased in
during the first month of school. The VRF system installation will likely be done by the end of
September. The roof top units will be in use by the beginning of the school year but the DOAS fresh air
units will be installed in September. Mejia Roofing completed the roof and is working on the punch list.
Avery – The new mechanical and life safety upgrades at the building are on track to be completed by the

addressed with Lueder Construction that is being resolved. Also, the retaining walls are almost complete.
The new office/entry are nearly completed and will be operational by the start of school.
Peter Sarpy – The original plan was to have the HVAC and lighting system completed during the fall of
2018. Mr. Gladbach spoke with Lueder Construction and the project is ahead of schedule. The

from August 8-17 for upgrades, then the office an entry will have the upgrades completed after that.
