Glencoe District 35 Director of Finance and Operations Jason Edelheit wrote in a memo to school board members the delays were related to supplies, equipment, labor and site preparation challenges.
“There were a bunch of little delays that added up at the end of the project and everything couldn’t happen at once,” Edelheit said. “There had to be a sequence.”Edelheit said there were some issues involving proper flowing of water on the surface led to some delays as the district had to check in with landscape architects Hitchcock Design Group to make sure elevations were correct to allow the water to flow properly before concrete went into place.
“We wish they were finished and they are not,” Edelheit said. “It wasn’t all on the contractor, it was a series of minor things. There wasn’t any one big issue.”“There were some changes in the construction and we have been working there everyday,” she said. “There has been material that hasn’t been there and we are still waiting for it. We are working with the school and the architect to get it finished.
Edelheit said this was the first time Hacienda had done a project for Glencoe 35, but they received a reference from Hitchcock as well as the Glencoe Park District where officials say the company has completed five or six playgrounds for them over the past several years.Advertisement With the playground closed, South School children have played at recess in other green spaces, according to Principal Kelly Zonghetti.“We all want it done right,” Board President Kelly Glauberman said.
Edelheit said the final touches to the surfaces are now being put in place and the hope is now the playground will open in early October.
