October 26, 2026 - Board Facilities Committee Meeting

The Dorchester School District Two Board Facilities Committee met October 26, 2026, to review facilities projects and upcoming procurement actions. Staff reported that roofing projects at River Oaks and Eagles Nest had been awarded, with preconstruction meetings and start dates pending. Roofing work at Fort Dorchester Elementary and Joseph Pye Elementary was scheduled for board consideration that evening; the committee also planned to forward an approval item described in the transcript as a “bin contract” for Dorchester Elementary and Joseph Pye Elementary. No committee vote was recorded. A bid opening for Summerville High School tennis courts was scheduled for the following day, with alternate 90- and 120-day construction schedules to be evaluated. Lighting for tennis courts at Ashley Ridge and Fort Dorchester was expected to go out for bid in the next month or two.

Other project updates included ordered fresh-air units and VAV equipment, and a planned Greg Middle School HVAC Phase 1 project—individual classroom units estimated at about $38,000 installed per unit—with design expected by early January and bidding planned for January. Later phases will depend on funding. The Oakbrook bus maintenance facility was nearing completion, with final inspection expected around November 16. Windsor Hill paving required soil stabilization after site conditions were found to be worse than anticipated, increasing the work by about 60% over the original scope; no dollar amount was provided. The committee also discussed security staffing at Knightsville and ongoing capital-maintenance planning, but no related procurement action was specified.
