(KNZA)--The final phase of improvements at Hiawatha schools funded by a $9.2 million bond issue approved by voters in the spring of 2015 is now set.
On the recommendation of the P1 Group, the USD 415 Board of Education Monday evening voted to accept the low bid submitted by Select One for the installation of security cameras and key card systems at the district’s three schools in the total amount of $299,291, with alternates included.
It was among three bids received and was under under what had been estimated.
The alternate bids include the installation of security cameras at the school parking lots, bus loading zones and high school football stadium.
Superintendent Penny Hargrove says the project will start in May and be completed by August 1st.
Representatives of the PI Group, who are serving as construction manager at risk on the bond projects, also address concerns with the new HVAC systems installed at the district's schools this summer. According to staff members, there's been problems controlling and maintaining proper temperatures in many of the rooms.
Dana Dunn with P1 said that with the heating system not kicking on until late November, they are about 60 days behind where they would like to be. The representatives assured the board they will continue to fine tune the system and should have the problems solved in the next couple of months.
