i'd like to thank everyone for coming tonight this is going to be relatively short because there's a very important issues on the on the agenda but in fact we don't have a lot of them which is a real real plus but we do have a policy after this so i'd ask everybody to please stick around first we like to introduce and once again thank mr brander warm for coming with us to and join your show basically today ok what i've been asked to do is give give a brief overall summary of the mcmurry project to you all this morning myself and the principal vice principal mrs belcher we met with faculty we reviewed project with the faculty of murray and gave them a briefing of what to expect going forward i'm waiting on a construction drawing documents that will be delivered to me next week for review this morning we week and a half ago the cause some disruption we were able to remedy those temporarily going forward with the construction some equipment failures that took place but they're all remedied and moving forward in our walk through since  the change of the school day now will be held as advertised march twenty seventh at nine o'clock will be our walk through at mcmurray for the project with contractors so we won't have any disruptions we won't disrupt students and faculty we've made at a time frame march twenty seventh the nine o'clock some of the other larger capital projects underway the rooftop air conditioning here at the district office is to be replaced starting march twenty first i would like to conduct a briefing with the staff here in the building potentially next week to give them an idea of what is going to have been in this timeframe in the schedule of the inconvenience to their particular area and the time frame  without air conditioning movement in the building where they have to be relocated for a period of time let's lift it up yes that would that will take place and also when the v a v boxes in their specific areas are being replaced we're going to ask them to move into a swing space in to accommodate the contractor as two and a half three days to do each one of these areas so we have a schedule and i just want to share that with the staff here next week to make sure they're on board with what is going to happen on march twenty first when a contractor mobilizes here it pleasant valley we're going to have our second meeting with the contractor was awarded that project r and b mechanical from south park area on march eleventh we're going to go over the timeframe the schedule but that project kit starts at march i mean on june eighth one school is  project on march twenty seventh at eleven o'clock to get some detail of cost and perspective of what that is going to cost for to remedy those issues there's really nothing exciting at the other facilities at bauer hill at currently with mr almer here now i'm hoping to move more of an initiative into that area and i met with all the administrators for new capital projects going in that fifteen sixteen fiscal year and about twenty new capital projects surface that excuse me that we're going through and screening and looking at and putting cost perspective estimates toward those  that's but what i have to report from the buildings around the hill you mentioned to me earlier today that you had the opportunity to walk around with a lot of the concrete yes on tractors yes i met with  y a concrete mason area contractor last friday we went and visited three of the facilities unfortunately the snow cover and the cold temperatures prohibited us to having a lot of detail brought into a but we have agreed to a second meeting he right now has five of those projects that he's reviewing and putting estimated cost and proposals to everything from the middle school the barville the high school pleasant valley i don't thing was the  questions from the board members that's if i can inform the board on the table tonight on your worksheets there was a revised timetable which mr meeting will conference will be on march twenty seventh so that means next week we will start advertising for the bids for the mcmurry project the bids will be advertised march eleventh eighteenth and twenty fifth so we can maintain our deadline of receiving the bids on april fourteenth and awarding those bids in our april meeting our goal of course is to have a clerk of the works for the march meeting everything will be he have been submitted and they're sitting on the desk in pennsylvania department of education where i think you because of the snow days we've had is that going to affect the schedule as far as the start construction  potentially by one day see that we're still slated to start on the one that is now a clerical day we do not want to move it back right now we're in the process of brainstorming some other options that we might have so we're not delaying construction because one of students want to make sure that the teachers have enough time to do what they needed to do for clerical and to ready the room so we're going to talk with the administration with the union about what solution can we have so that we don't have to delay construction because every every day counts moving into the summer so that's why what's why we didn't move it back yes we may have to but i'm hopeful we can find a solution i'm sure that will be passed on to the contractors that they might slip a day or two i've already made the team meeting with the staff today mrs belcher developed a website for parents to the community members to go to access information about mcmurry project so any of the materials we've had available or the phasing will grow the project as we have more the will grow the website as we get more information that's one avenue of information and we're also planning to meet with the p t a to keep them informed as we progress for communication plan again is there any questions from the board members seeing none i'm going to open up to the public eye you said this may be the shortest meeting this board has ever had with no questions i'm going to go ahead
