Mt. Pleasant High School Parking and Drive Replacement

Project Description

Replace parking lot and road to handle current loads and volume at Mount Pleasant High School (MPHS). Requested but not funded: FY16, FY17, FY18, FY19, FY20, FY21

Background & Justification/Status

Mount Pleasant High School is currently 32 years old. At time of construction, the parking lots and drives were not designed or constructed to accommodate today's vehicle weights. Currently, all parking lots and drives are failing and will result in additional repair costs if not addressed. There are significant safety concerns for human and vehicular accidents. High schools are experiencing increased usage outside of school hours due to student drivers, sports activities, club activities, and community usage. Price reduction of $171,840 from previous year request is based on most recent completed project pricing.

Impact If Not Funded and Maximum Time it Can be Delayed

Impact is apparent now. The parking lots and drives are failing and require constant maintenance. These type of repairs are an extreme drain on the operating budget.

Total Cost: 1,648,000

Concord High School Roof Replacement

Project Description

Replace existing ballasted EPDM rubber membrane with 60 mil PVC at Concord High School (CHS). Requested but not funded: FY16, FY17, FY18, FY19, FY20, FY21

Background & Justification/Status

Price reduction of $155,730 from previous year request is due to current market pricing.

Impact If Not Funded and Maximum Time it Can be Delayed

CC Griffin Middle School Auditorium/Performing Arts Addition

Project Description

Completing the valued engineering phase of the auditorium at C.C. Griffin Middle School (CCGMS). Requested but not funded: FY22

Background & Justification/Status
