The Maintenance Department has dedicated a substantial effort to all of these essential on-going capital improvements projects, resulting in a significant depletion of the funds available in these accounts. By transferring funding from other completed projects to these capital projects, prior to the start of the 2002 Fiscal Year, will not only enable the Borough Maintenance Department to continue the on-going work, but also allow the timely award of contract work, thus making certain that projects are completed prior to the start of the 2002 school year .
Priority is determined by assessment of wear and tear at each facility.
Last season, the Borough Maintenance Department directed and administered the installation of well over 46,000 square feet of replacement flooring in eight school facilities. This involved installation of carpet, vinyl tile, and sports flooring. Approximately 25,000 square feet of this flooring required asbestos abatement before installation. This was the Maintenance Department's second summer that the electricians worked to correct the electrical code violations that were found. These additional funds should complete the project.
