Landscaping, irrigation and screening covering the air conditioning units on the roof of the high school are still to be completed, as reported to the May 19 board of trustees of the Daingerfield-Lone Star Independent School District. Ted Estep, architect for the school bond, gave the construction report. Construction under a $5.4 million bond for the Daingerfield- Lone Star Independent School District nears completion. Ted Estep, architect for the school bond, gave a construction report to the board of trustees. The construction is covered under a $5.4 million bond, a Qualified School Construction Bond that voters approved at the polls.
“It is pretty much the landscaping and irrigation that we are waiting on and there are a few other things to finish up,” Mr. Estep said. “The big thing is the screen for the air conditioning units. We need to know which way we will go with that. I am here to answer any questions and decide what to do. I have contacted the construction engineer about the height and he has concerns if the support beam would support it. Originally it was 4 feet and this one goes to 8 feet.
“At this time we are holding the contract open for the contractor to continue this, but if it will be longer, we need to let that contractor go. But, their insurance and bond are still in effect.”
