Converse County School District #2 Announcements
CONSTRUCTION PROJECT UPDATES
Originally, bids were to be opened for the demolition of the northern portion of the old elementary school on February 4, 2010. The school district must do some additional asbestos testing on the materials on the outside of the building. The district had undertaken an asbestos abatement in the 80’s on materials inside the building, but there is now a law that deals with demolishing buildings that the DEQ, Department of Environmental Quality, has started to enforce regarding demolishment of buildings. As a result of this additional testing, the school district has moved the bid opening date to March 4, 2010. We anticipate that this change in our schedule will not interrupt the project completion date of May 20, 2010. The Converse County School District #2 Board of Trustees will turn the remaining building and property over to the Glenrock Community Recreation District on July 1, 2010.

The addition to the Central Office receiving and storage area is starting to take shape. The contractor has poured the footers and walls and will begin the process of backfilling around the excavated area. Once the project is completed it will house our expanded technology center along with an additional room for school district records. The rest of the space that was added is for receiving and storage. This project is slated to be completed by April 15, 2010.
At the regular board meeting on Tuesday, February 9, 2010 the Board of Trustees awarded the wind turbine bids to ITC Electrical Technologies from Casper. They were the low bidder at $142,721.00. The school district is installing one 5KW vertical wind turbine at the bus garage and one 10KW horizontal wind turbine at Grant Elementary. This project is scheduled to be completed by May 15, 2010.
This summer the school district will undertake a number of construction projects. At the intermediate/middle school the school district will completely remove and replace the windows, frames and doors at the handicap entrance and the glass hallway along the east side of the gym. We will replace that area with energy efficient windows and doors. At the high school we will replace the existing boilers with high energy efficient boilers. The roof over the northern portion of the building will be replaced. These areas include the kitchen, boiler room and band room. These projects are scheduled to be completed before school starts in the fall.
