Funding for the upgrades is 100% complete and the work has been authorized.
- Add additional landscaping to screen the abandoned building from view on the adjacent site. This building faces the front entrance of the new school.
- Substitute hydraulic for the electric driven handicapped elevator specified. This will double the archive space in the attic.
- Substitute wood parquet floor for the carpet specified in the pre-school. This will wear better and is healthier for the children.
- Add ceramic tiles in all classrooms and corridors.
Funding for the contract lump sum amount of $510,000 is 100% complete. However the school principal has requested a number of upgrades and the below shortened list represents those upgrades which would have the most beneficial effect:
- Add wainscot high wall ceramic tiles in all classrooms, corridors and main stair for cleanliness and ease of maintenance.
- Add additional landscaping to screen the abandoned building from view on the adjacent site. This building faces the front entrance of the new school.
- Substitute hydraulic for the electric driven handicapped elevator specified. This will double the archive space in the attic.
- Substitute wood parquet floor for the carpet specified in the pre-school. This will wear better and is healthier for the children.
The cost of these upgrades is only $21,000 since the contractor has agreed not to charge for the labor cost of these upgrades and a deep discount is being discussed with the supplier of the tiles. We have $6,500 toward these upgrades.
