Due
to the age and condition of the District’s facilities, there are
numerous ongoing maintenance projects
required to keep these facilities
habitable. These items include, but are not limited to: roof repairs,
replacement of worn and loose flooring, air quality, resurfacing of parking lots and athletic courts, boiler
and chiller replacement, electrical improvements, ceiling and lighting
replacement, etc.
Every
building was surveyed regarding their immediate needs as it relates to the
required maintenance and life expectancy of equipment and material. Once all
items were identified a priority system was put in place to facilitate a level of service in which to implement
the various projects. Priorities identified include the following:
A1 = Repair/replacement

roofing, mechanical, exterior pavement, and fixed equipment critical to the
function of the building systems operation.
