Niall Washburn of KG&D Architects gave the Board of Education an update of Bronxville's ongoing facilities plan. His presentation summarized a more detailed analysis presented to the facilities committee in December.
We have completed the PTA-sponsored Bathroom renovation project, which updated the function and appearance of nine bathrooms. They are now fresher, brighter, and more easily maintained. A few punchlist items remain.
The Boiler/Switchgear relocation project is on hold, pending resolution with the bonding company. That process is underway. FEMA continues to be the funding source for this work. Contracts totaling $3,494,900 have been awarded -- 24% under budget.
Active issues related to completed projects include warranty issues involving the replacement of exterior oak doors and cracked stone floor tiles in the rotunda. Some signange needs are also pending.
Long-range facilities needs will be reviewed and updated as part of the five-year building conditions survey that will be conducted next year as part of a state requirement. That review is likely to identify ongoing needs with heating and ventilation, renovation of Middle School Science labs, and auditorium improvements. Projects in the 2010-11 budget include replacement of floor tile on the second floor and an outdoor storage shed.
