Capital Program Scope of Work - Pine Tree Elementary School

Replacements and Upgrades

Replace and repair roof = $4,919,040

Pine Tree's entire roof, including the access hatches and ladders to the roof, will be replaced. The roof leaks in a number of classrooms as well as in the library, requiring the use of buckets to catch water during rainstorms, and results in frequent replacement of ceiling panels.

Replace boiler and heating system = $11,616,840

Pine Tree's boilers were installed in 1960. At 62 years old, they are the oldest in the district

The entire heating system, currently a steam system as designed in 1960, would be replaced with a more efficient and cost-effective hydronic (hot water) system. This would not only address heating inconsistencies across the building, but would also decrease fuel and maintenance costs.

Upgrade safety systems = $1,264,896

The following systems will be upgraded:

  • fire alarms

  • carbon monoxide monitors

Repair exterior = $366,000

There is significant damage to some of the building's brick exterior walls, which have been damaged by age, wind and weather.

Additional security improvements = $292,800

A security vestibule will be created to provide Raptor system ID verification at the front entry, rather than at the rear of the lobby.

A new security vestibule might be similar to the one at the high school
