Board approves resurfacing contracts for Rosewood and Southern Wayne tracks totaling $614,570

Wayne County Board of Education members approved contracts on July 7 to resurface the running tracks at Southern Wayne High School and Rosewood High School.

District staff presented Geo Services proposals for polyurethane track surfaces. The board recorded a $237,680 contract for Southern Wayne (6-lane track) and a $376,890 contract for Rosewood (8-lane track), for a combined total of $614,570. Bids for the projects were previously approved; the board approved the contracts after staff confirmed vendor readiness.

Board members voted separately on each contract; both were approved by unanimous hand vote. Staff said the polyurethane surface will be installed after the asphalt base cures and that the contracts were cleared by district counsel prior to final approval.

The projects were described as routine facilities work to refurbish athletics surfaces; the board approved each contract individually as presented.
