Unionville-Chadds Ford School Board directors made some changes to previously established work orders for projects at several of the district schools. The changes increase the cost of the projects by $24,044.

The schools involved are Unionville High. School, CF Patton Middle School, and Pocopson Elementary School, and the projects are being. Done by S.B. Conrad, Inc. General Contractor.

One of the projects involves the high school cafeteria. Changes include an additional cost of $2,289 for painting the doors and another $7,980 to increase the underside decking. The district did, however, receive a credit of $5,650 for a reduction in the scope of work for the walls outside the bathrooms.

There was an increase of $11,120 to relocate and extend a new sidewalk between the high school and CF Patton Middle School. The change, according to the board, eliminated street crossing.

There was also an increase of $9,205 for increased caulking around the windows at Pocopson Elementary School.

(More details on those projects may be found here.)

School board directors also approved the purchase of an electric scissor lift for $14,900. According to board documents, the maintenance department spends $3,000 to $4,000 per year to rent lifts for various projects, and it’s believed the purchase will pay for itself in about four years.

The school board also voted to enter into an agreement with Chester Water Authority to bid and construct a water main extension along Route 1 for Chadds Ford Elementary School. Work calls for 1,700 feet of 8-inch pipe at an estimated construction cost of $307,500.
