September 5, 2023 at 8:00 AM - District 23 Buildings & Sites Committee Meeting

Description:  We'll present an overview of the two major projects (Sullivan Plumbing & Mac HVAC) and the remaining expenditure information as we work towards final completion.  Both projects have been approved for occupancy by the ROE.

Description:  Amy will share the updated calendar, project scope and budget with the committee.  Documents have been attached for review. 

Description:  As we look to save money where we can, an opportunity for cost savings was identified in the Windows,Siding and Door Replacement Project.  Original estimates came in close to $500K.  Amy has had meetings with ARCON's preferred designers/manufacturers to identify a roller shade solution that would be installed in each window following completion of each phase of windows.Preliminary pricing is closer to $75,000. Although the project will need to be bid, there is significant savings in having the district conduct the bidding process.  A targeted bid process and timeframe will be discussed. 

Description:  Don and Amy will provide a brief overview of the updated pricing and recommended strategies for accomplishing the District's goal of Full Day Kindergarten and enhanced safety and security at all locations.

Description:  Over the past two years, we have had discussions with the PHYBS organization regarding a storage facility for their equipment.  We have attached documentation detailing the requested shed and proposed placement at Phantoms' Field.

Description:  We recently became aware of an additional broken clay pipe that runs underground from the Mac Staff bathroom out to the Courtyard area.  While the restroom is currently operational, we will need to proceed with the repair.  We are in the process of gathering additional information, including a preliminary proposal from DeFranco.  We have attached a map for reference and discussion.

Description:  Boy Scout, Jason Prempas is working on becoming an Eagle Scout.  He has met with Principal Nystrom to discuss the opportunity to work with the Prospect Heights Natural Resources Commission and MacArthur students to transplant seedlings into the Mac prairie area.  The total number of plants to be planted is approximately 2,000-3,000.

Description:  ISBE's School Maintenance Projects Grant opens on September 5th.  As has been the case in the past three years, Amy will apply for the capital projects grant for the maximum amount of $50,000.  All proceeds will be directed towards the windows, siding and door replacement work scheduled for the Summer of 2024.
