Capital Improvement Plan
$1,375,000Forward
This Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) provides a recommended framework for undertaking major capital improvements over the next several years. The following goals continue to guide planning and prioritization of the CIP.
1. Provide a safe, healthy, and inviting learning environment for students, staff, parents, and community.
2. Protect infrastructure and ensure the proper operation of all critical building systems.
3. Ensure that facilities are energy efficient.
4. Ensure that facilities are equipped for current instructional and administrative technologies.
Identifying facilities needs are based on input from principals and administrators, facilities staff, and a range of consultants in the field. In 2021, Cornett & Cundiff, Inc. performed a survey of the roofs in the school division. In 2022-2023, Crabtree, Rohrbaugh & Associates completed a full facilities assessment to identify structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing needs for all school sites and assist with capital planning.
From the list of needs, major projects costing over $100,000 are included in the current CIP. As a caution, estimates should be considered place holders. The best estimates are obtained after preparation of working drawings (bid) documents and true cost is determined through the competitive bid process.
Timelines
The following timelines are hypothetical and predicated on the assumption that the division will increase its Facilities Category over each of the next several fiscal years. The following tables provide a description of projects, costs, and recommended timelines for each project. In some cases, projects are bundled for similar types of work or because of advantages related to logistics.
