Bond program

This bond ensures students have the opportunity to learn in a safe, up-to-date environment, and preserve school facilities as long term assets.

Dayton is a growing community that values a strong educational system with a rural sense of caring and teamwork, and therefore has been supportive of their schools which have an enrollment of about 1,015 students. The buildings were built in 1936, 1950, 1969, and 2010. Bonds approved for infrastructure improvements in 1999 and 2009 increased capacity, which improved the educational offerings.

While District staff prioritize maintaining current facilities so that they are safe and productive learning environments, many structures are in need of significant repairs and maintenance that cannot be accomplished within the regular operating budget. The District will use the bond funds and grants to finance basic large-scale repairs, remove safety hazards, and make schools more energy efficient which will reduce facility operating expenses and allow more funds to be spent on education.

Dayton School District — October | The district, HMK, Carlson Veit Junge Architects, PC and their consultants, attended a site walk of the Dayton Junior High & Dayton High School and Dayton Grade School to further assess the condition of the schools and to align their scope of work.

May | The Dayton School District Interview Committee held an online interview with two qualified General Contractors who have proposed on the Dayton Bond Program. Six interviewers, comprised of members of the Bond Oversight Committee the School Board, asked the candidates over 15 questions for a one hour period of time. The Interview Committee will make their recommendation to the Board which will be considered at the June 9th School Board meeting.

June | The Dayton School Board has awarded the Dayton School District Bond Program’s Construction Manager | General Contractor contract to Triplett Wellman Contractors! Triplett Wellman will join the project team to provide estimating, constructability review, coordination, design input, bidding and construction management.

September | The Dayton Grade School will be receiving a new entrance vestibule, including the relocation of the office adjacent to the entryway. This new entrance will require visitors to physically walk through the office to gain entrance to the rest of the building once school begins. Safety and Security is one of the goals of the bond that passed in May 2019.

Updates

Current Activities
During this period, Carlson Viet Jung Architects (CVJ) continued to refine the Schematic Drawings, considering options for relocating the Administration Office next to the Vestibule to establish improved visibility and access control. The Library will be relocated to the existing Administration Office.

Activities Scheduled for Next Period
Next period, the Schematic Design phase will be complete and cost estimates will be provided by CVJ’s independent cost estimator and the Construction Manager | General Contractor (CM|GC) Triplett Wellman, Inc. Upon completion of cost estimates and Board approval of budget and design, the Design Development phase will begin.

Dayton High School - Gym — Telescopic Bleacher Seating | This summer, Dayton School District’s Bond Program plans include replacing the existing bleachers at Dayton High School with new automatic | telescoping bleachers. Telescopic Bleacher Seating, retractable bleachers combine all the advantages of cost and space saving with the flexibility of being able to fold them up and down and move them quickly and easily. This is apart of the district’s promise for a safer, more functional school environment for all students and the community.

June | Snyder Roofing of Oregon LLC met with HMK and roofing consultant, A-Tech Northwest at the Junior High School for the pre-construction meeting. On June 09, 2020 Snyder will begin removal of the existing roof and replace with a new 60 mil reflective grey PVC membrane; which will allow for increased energy efficiency and longevity due to its high reflectivity. The high reflectivity is important for the roofing, because UV damage is a significant portion of the wear that causes roofs to degrade and end up needing to be replaced. The roof will also have a 20 year warranty.

July | Following A-Tech/Northwest, Inc.’s drawings and Specifications, Snyder Roofing of Oregon LLC has begun tear-off and re-roofing at Dayton Junior High. Roofers are laying down vapor barrier after removing the existing roofing from the lower covered walkway. The final system, will consist of insulation, cover board, and a gray 60 mil PVC membrane; this upgraded system will come with a 20 year NDL (Non-Diminishing Limit) warranty, from Carlisle SynTec Systems. The warranty protects the community’s investment for 20 years.

July | Snyder roofing is continuing to reroof the Dayton Junior High & Dayton High School, with new 60 mil PVC roofing. Roofers are preparing adhesive, so they can glue the membrane down onto the coverboard. Roofers are tied off for safety, while working near the 6 foot safety perimeter set up around the roof.

July | The Dayton High School bleachers are currently being removed by Norpac Seating. The new bleachers, by Hussey Seating, will proudly sport the Dayton Pirate’s logo when they are closed. When the bleachers are open, they will provide ADA accessible seating to the students and community attending athletic events in the gym. The bleachers will also be electronically controlled, which will allow for ease of use by teachers and staff during events. The existing bleachers, which were constructed with vertical grain fir planks, are will be salvaged and repurposed by the district.

August | In the Dayton High school gym, Nor-Pac Seating is working on installing the new Hussey Seating Company bleachers. The new bleachers have a plywood walkway between each row, as well as ADA accessible seats. In the pictures, Nor-Pac Seating has installed the walkways and stairs to the top of the bleachers, and is working on installing each individual seat. Since the bleachers are mid-install, the Dayton Pirates logo isn’t visible in its entirety quite yet! We can’t wait to show you the completed project soon!

August | Nor-Pac Seating demonstrates operation to the High School staff for the new bleachers that were installed over the summer. Compared to the old bleachers, which required several people to open manually, the new system can be operated electronically. The new bleachers are also ADA accessible and with the flick of a switch portions slide in to easily allow wheelchair access.
