LATEST UPDATES
October 14, 2019 – Mission Middle School
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.
October 14, 2019 – Lied Activity Center
Work is currently ongoing on renovation of the pool area at the Lied Activity Center. Due to accelerated deterioration, the gutter system for the pool is being replaced as well as the deck drain system that has experienced breakage in the deck drain grilles. It is anticipated that the bulk of the work in the pool area will be completed in early November 2019.
Also part of the pool renovation is the renovation/upgrade of the pool filtration equipment. The existing sand filter system is being upgraded to an electronic media filter system, and the existing chlorine water treatment system is being replaced with a new UV treatment system. The change out to the new electronic media filter system will provide a higher level of filtration and will actually provide a reduction of water usage due to the reduced backflushing of the pool system. Also, the new UV water treatment system will provide a higher level of water quality with the reduction in the usage of pool chemicals. It is anticipated that the combined reduced water and chemical usage will result in considerable operational savings to the District for the pool.
October 14, 2019 – Central Elementary School
Work is being finished up on the renovation of Central Elementary School. The bulk of the work within the building was the renovation/replacement of the existing steam heating/ chiller cooling systems within the building with a Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heating and cooling system. This is a highly energy efficient system that provides individual control in room areas and is anticipated that the new heating and cooling system will save a considerable amount of utility and maintenance savings to the District over the life of the system. Also included in the project was the inclusion of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the building and a new secured building entrance for the school.
Also completed over the summer months was the replacement of the existing roof system over the entire building. The existing roof system was previously identified in a previously conducted roof survey as a roof system in need for replacement due to age and ongoing roof issues.
October 14, 2019 – 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.
