General Program Update

As of the end of this month, the Amity School District Bond Program continues to progress significantly. We have reached several critical milestones, marking substantial advancements in our construction efforts.

Middle School Construction:
• The framing for both the first and second floors of the new middle school has been completed. The installation of the roof structure is currently underway, this will provide essential protection for the interior spaces and allow further internal work to proceed without weather-related interruptions.
• All ground excavation work, including the installation of the stormwater retention system, has been completed,
• The main building’s wood-framed structure is now in place, providing a clear outline of the school’s layout.

Gymnasium Progress:
• The new gym’s walls are entirely framed, and the roof structure is now complete. The next steps involve adding insulation to the gym and continuing with roof installation.

Current Activities

This month, several critical activities are in progress across different areas of the Amity School District Bond Program. Here are the key highlights:

Middle School Construction:
Roof Structure: The installation of the roof structure is actively underway.
Rough-Ins: We have begun the rough-in phase for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. This phase is expected to take around 10 Weeks to complete.
Main Building Structure: The main building’s wood-framed structure is now in place.
Insulation and Roofing: With the gym’s walls framed and the roof structure completed, the next steps include adding insulation and continuing with roof installation.
1965 Wing: A major focus has been on asbestos abatement. Concurrently, renovations of the science classrooms are underway, aimed at creating modern, well-equipped spaces that support contemporary science education. The library is being transformed into a more user-friendly and collaborative middle school/high school library with open spaces and movable furniture to enhance flexibility and accommodate various learning activities. Additionally, the life skills room is being reconfigured to improve its functionality and accessibility, ensuring that students with diverse needs have the resources they need to succeed.
2002 Wing: As part of our security upgrades, we are reconfiguring the high school office and adding a vestibule, enhancing the safety and security of the school.

Activities Scheduled for Next Period

For the upcoming month, the focus will be on several critical activities to ensure the timely progression of the Amity School District Bond Program. Here are the key activities and highlights:

1965 Wing Renovation:
Completion of Renovations: The primary goal for the coming month is to complete the renovation of the 1965 wing in time for the start of the new school year. This includes finishing the asbestos abatement, and the renovations of the science classrooms, library, and life skills room.
Final Inspections and Clean-Up: We will conduct final inspections and clean-up to ensure the renovated areas meet safety and quality standards, ready to welcome students and staff.
Middle School Construction:
Roof Installation: We will continue with the installation of the roof structure on the middle school.
Weather Barrier Installation: Following the roof installation, we will begin installing the weather barrier.
Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing: The rough-in phase for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will continue over the next 10 Weeks.

Highlights, Challenges, Solutions

Tight Timeline for 1965 Wing Renovation: The primary challenge this summer is completing the renovation of the 1965 wing within the 90-day period available. Completing such an extensive project within this timeframe is particularly challenging due to the amount of work required, including asbestos abatement and significant renovations to the science classrooms, library, and life skills room.
Manpower and Coordination: Coordinating the extensive manpower needed to complete the 1965 wing renovation on time has been a significant challenge. Ensuring that all teams work efficiently and that there are no delays or overlaps in the schedule requires meticulous planning and execution.
Increased Manpower: Recognizing the need for a substantial workforce, we have allocated additional manpower to the renovation of the 1965 wing. This includes hiring more workers and ensuring that all teams are adequately staffed. Triple Wellman, our General Contractor, has done an excellent job managing the workforce and ensuring that all tasks are performed efficiently and effectively.
Close Collaboration with Contractors: We maintain close communication and collaboration with our contractors to ensure that everyone is aligned with the project goals and timelines. Regular meetings and updates help address any issues promptly and keep the project on track.
