Superintendent’s Report Goals ➢ Provide technical mechanical support to facilities in the area of Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning (HVAC) ➢ Support the development of an ongoing maintenance plan ➢ Provide support in an affordable as needed manner
Superintendent’s Report Background Vision 2020: Facilities/Grounds N. A Maintenance Plan for Critical Operating Equipment Needs to be Developed ➢ The Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds maintains all critical equipment. However, there is a lack of back up staff supporting this position. ➢ The amount of equipment being maintained by one person over the number of buildings, square footage and systems is significant.
Superintendent’s Report Vision 2020: Facilities/Grounds (cont.) ➢ There is also some need for a plan to inventory, maintain and routinely replace motors and other types of equipment. ➢ A formal replacement plan could assist in long range facility planning and reducing mechanical breakdowns that could impact on the learning environment. ➢ The maintenance staff has been reduced over time.
Superintendent’s Report Present Situation ➢ Head Custodian oversees all facilities and grounds ➢ Needs analysis called for more expertise in the area of HVAC ➢ No employee replaced loss of FTE when Director of Facilities left in October 2014
Superintendent’s Report Resources ➢ Approximate cost = $33 per hour ➢ 50 weeks x 8 hrs = 400 hours ➢ Estimated cost approximately $13,200 @ one day/wk ➢ Budget anticipated up to $20,000
Superintendent’s Report Advantages ➢ Services as billed as needed ➢ BOCES broad expertise of technical support (similar to transportation) ➢ Available for emergencies Disadvantages ➢ Travel time (30 minutes)
Superintendent’s Report Recommendation Facilities Committee and Superintendent ➢ Secure HVAC Mechanic through formal BOCES service request (Board resolution not required) ➢ Measure progress and needs annually Action Needed ➢ Superintendent signs service request/agreement
