ROOFS

1
Fort Atkinson School District Buildings and
Grounds Long Range Plan Five/Ten-Year
2
This long range plan is an attempt to prioritize
needed repairs and/or replacements before they
become emergencies and negatively impact safety
and the rest of the building. This is a living
plan which can and will change. The major
building components that follow, I feel, can have
the biggest impact on a building. This is not to
minimize the importance of the many secondary
items, both listed and yet to be listed.

ROOFS

• Over 500,000 square feet of roof surface.
• Continued diligence required to keep from falling
  behind. Includes maintenance and replacement.
• With cost of replacement and area we have it is
  necessary to address minimum of one roof area per
  year.
• It will take 10 years to complete 5 schools
  before having to start on High School.
• For energy savings insulation is increased as
  practical when replacements are done.
• Roof types are considered to permit peel off as
  opposed to total replacement.

EXTERIOR MASONRY (BRICK WORK)

• Moisture getting behind and into bricks can
• Cause structural damage by deterioration of
  steel.
• Create health concerns by development of mold.
• Blow the face surface of bricks off leading to
  further deterioration.
• Causing bricks to fall from wall.
• Corrective action
• Caulking.
• Tuck pointing.
• Replacement of individual bricks or whole panels.
• Chimneys, whether abandoned (such as by geo) or
  not must be maintained or removed.
• Currently working on masonry assessment to detail
  corrective action.

5
HVAC

• In middle of geothermal projects.
• a) Replaced extremely old heating systems.
• b) Partially reduced need for frequent and
• expensive maintenance.
• c) Provided air conditioning where none
• existed before.
• Still have some old equipment that has a need for
  more frequent maintenance and/or replacement.

6
PLUMBING

• Much of the plumbing components are old with
  corroded pipes and frozen valves.
• Water heaters are liming up.
• Problems not always obvious until there is a
  leak.
• Valves are periodically replaced. Piping is spot
  replaced when a problem is detected.

7
ELECTRIC

• Recently all lamps and ballasts were replaced
  with energy saving ones with a payback of
  approximately four years.
• Fire alarm systems and many electric panels are
  antiquated.
• During geo projects many fire alarms and electric
  panels were partially upgraded.
• For all switches and outlets should be labeled to
  the circuits.
• Light sensors need to be updated and installed
  when none exist.
• Additional outlets are being installed on an as
  needed basis.

8
ASBESTOS

• There are varying amounts of asbestos in all
  buildings.
• Asbestos is abated when it is impacted by any
  type of construction, is damaged or at risk of
  damage.
• Geo project only abated asbestos that was at risk
  during construction.
• Additional amounts on abandoned equipment should
  be abated to eliminate hazard.
• Abatement/demo of abandoned boilers can make
  space available for other purposes.

9
ASPHALT

• We have large areas of asphalt for our parking
  lots, drives and playgrounds.
• Repairs are necessary to prevent admittance of
  water and prevent break up.
• All cracks have recently been routed and filled.
  Necessary as cracks develop.
• Seal coating is necessary to restore oils in
  asphalt and extend life of the asphalt.
• Paint striping is done annually.

10
POSSIBLE FUTURE

• Geothermal for Luther Elementary/Admin.
• Deck over abandoned boiler rooms to provide
  additional useable space.
• Pursue other sources of energy efficiency.
• Wind
• Solar
• Photo-voltaic
• Burn refuse
• Conservation

SECONDARY ITEMS

• These items are repaired or replaced as needed.
• Flooring
• Windows
• Doors and Hardware
• Concrete
• Ceilings
