The Poudre School District Board of Education voted unanimously on May 12 to authorize a contract of $882,125.25 with Element Environmental Services to perform hazardous‑materials abatement and roof replacement at Shepherdson Elementary.
CFO presentation: The district’s chief finance officer, Dave Montoya, presented the item, explaining the project will be completed in two phases across 2026 and 2027 and that water intrusion and hazardous materials from the building’s 1978 construction necessitate abatement followed by roof replacement. "That is the total cost across both years," Montoya said when asked whether the $882,125 covers both phases.
Why it matters: Montoya said the contract is the last of the large construction contracts queued for the 2026 cycle and that voters’ debt‑free mill levy made the capital work possible. The board confirmed the two‑phase scheduling and approved the contract by voice vote.
Vote: The motion to authorize the expenditure and the contract passed 7–0.
Next steps: District staff will execute the contract and proceed with phased construction work; board members asked clarifying questions about phasing and costs during the discussion.
