ESASD Property & Facilities Committee Meeting (Sept 2)

The ESASD School Board's Property & Facilities Committee met on September 2, 2026, to discuss ongoing construction and maintenance projects, including HVAC system delays and capital improvement plans. A significant procurement issue involved delays in the installation of hydronic boilers by JBM Mechanical due to specialty parts lead times, impacting dehumidification and air quality ahead of the school year. The committee discussed contractual protections such as bid and performance bonds and considered pursuing compensation for additional expenses incurred. Updates were provided on lighting projects progressing at various schools, with no change orders anticipated. The committee also reviewed the use of funds from the American Lung Association Clean Air School Challenge to improve building envelopes and air quality, coordinated with energy efficiency initiatives. Additionally, the committee approved payment applications for JBM Mechanical and Train, and unanimously approved the custodial supplies contract with LJC Janitorial, a Co-Star vendor, for the upcoming school year. The meeting concluded with motions passed to approve these procurement-related items and adjournment.
