LOGAN FONTENELLE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Work was recently completed for roof replacement of some significant areas of roofing at Logan Fontenelle that were identified as areas in poor condition.

HVAC System Update: Replacement of miscellaneous mechanical equipment within the building in 2019 was delayed to 2020 due to potential delivery and installation issues within the Summer of 2019. Plans will be prepared and bids received by the end of 2019 to allow the work to begin in May of 2020.

Work was completed over the Summer of 2019 on the full replacement of the existing running track at Mission Middle School. The previous asphalt track was in very poor condition and was removed down to grade. A new asphalt track system was installed in its place.

Bleacher Replacement: Work will begin later in March 2019 to replace the bleachers in the main gym at Logan Fontenelle with bleacher installation being completed by Heartland Seating Company. The new seating will replace the existing wood bleachers with new retractable contoured plastic bench seats. The installation schedule of the new bleachers is being coordinated with the school administration and should be completed around the first week of April 2019.

Chiller Replacement: Also occurring at Logan Fontenelle will be the replacement of the existing chiller system serving the main cooling system for the building. The existing chiller unit was tentatively scheduled for replacement in roughly 2020, but due to 2 of the 3 compressor units failing in the chiller, the District has expedited the replacement of the chiller rather than expending money for repairs that will be wasted when the unit is replaced. The new chiller unit installation will be occurring during the month of March 2019 and should be completed by April 1st.

Roof Project: The Summer of 2019 will also include the replacement of several roof areas at Logan Fontenelle that were identified as areas in poor condition. The roofing work was recently bid and recommendations will go to the Board in March 2019 for approval. It is anticipated that roof installation will begin in late May 2019 and is scheduled to be completed by August 8th, 2019, which coincides with the start of the 2019-2020 school year.

HVAC System Updates: It is planned that replacement and upgrades in the HVAC system within the building will occur in the Summer of 2020. Plans will be prepared and bids received by the end of 2019 to allow the work to begin in May of 2020.

Work will begin later this Fall to replace the bleachers in the main gym at Logan Fontenelle with bleacher installation being completed by Heartland Seating Company.  The new seating will replace the existing wood bleachers with new retractable contoured plastic bench seats.  The installation schedule of the new bleachers is being coordinated with the school administration and will occur late Fall of 2018.

Also occurring at Logan Fontenelle will be the replacement of the existing chiller system serving the main cooling system for the building.  The existing chiller unit was tentatively scheduled for replacement in roughly 2020, but due to 2 of the 3 compressor units failing in the chiller, the District has expedited the replacement of the chiller rather than expending money for repairs that will be wasted when the unit is replaced.  The District will be looking at means and methods of providing additional cooling by utilizing a rented portable chiller unit this summer/fall until a new chiller unit can be purchased and installed.

The Bellevue School Board approved at the May 2018 meeting a contract with Heartland Seating to replace the existing bleachers in the gym at Logan Fontenelle Middle High School. The new seating will replace the existing wood bleachers with new retractable contoured plastic bench seats. Work is tentatively scheduled to start shortly after September 1st, 2018 and will be completed in the Fall of 2018.
