CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield school board on Monday night was presented with five capital projects for consideration next week.
First, it will consider the removal and re-pour of sections of sidewalks at the Centre Elementary school building. The cost is $11,400 and it was noted that the district’s budget is $11,000 for the work.
Next is the purchase and installation of casework for nine classrooms at Clearfield Area Elementary School.
The rooms were not equipped with casework when constructed. The proposed cost is $13,100 and the district’s budget is $13,000.
Third is installation of an additional light standard provided by the district between the last standard on the left-hand side of the drive and the next standard in line, which will better illuminate the driveway and the parking access road into the grass parking used for football game overflow parking.
The ground improvement budget is $20,000 and this project will be approximately $4,000.
Fourth, the board will consider installation of new LED lights on the Tech parking lot through to the intersection for a total of six upgraded lights.
The estimated cost is $6,000. The ground improvement budget would then have a remaining budget of $10,000.
Lastly is the purchase a snow box for the John Deer tractor; this will allow the tractor to be used for plowing snow and stacking snow after a storm.
A budget for upgrades to the tractor was approved for $8,000; the district purchased wheels and tires at a cost of approximately $4,500; the snow box is approximately $3,000 for a total equipment investment of $7,500.
The projects were included in the district’s capital projects budget but are still brought to the board before proceeding.
