CAITLIN MADISON
January 12, 2023
To all concerned,
On 1/11/2023, a regularly scheduled construction update meeting was held between ILTexas, General Contractors, and Architects. During this meeting, we were informed that our roof-top HVAC unit manufacturer, a national company, could no longer guarantee that our HVAC units would arrive as previously promised, which means we must move the opening of ILTexas Pearland K-8 and ILTexas Heritage K-8 to July 2024. This delay has a ripple effect that will push back the new construction of ILTexas Aggieland High School, ILTexas Arlington-Grand Prairie High School, ILTexas Liberty High School, and ILTexas Dallas High School to July 2025.
The driving factor behind this adjustment is supply chain issues with roof-top HVAC units. ILTexas and contracting partner, Key Construction, Inc., initiated the ordering of the units six months in advance of the timelines historically followed when constructing campuses. Despite proactive efforts on the part of ILTexas and Key Construction, manufacturers and suppliers were still unable to acquire the microchips and components needed to build the units and deliver the units by June 2023, preventing the campus's construction completion by July 2023.
Meeting attendees include:
Key Construction, Inc.:
- Scott Casebolt, President - Wichita & National Accounts Divisions
- Doug Ricke, Senior Project Manager
- Kyle Yockey, Project Manager
- Michael Gilbert, Construction Site Superintendent

The adjusted campus completion timeline will be as follows:

Campuses Opening July 2024
- ILTexas Pearland K-8
- ILTexas Heritage K-8 (Mansfield/Grand Prairie)

A todos las partes interesadas,
El 1/11/2023, se llevó a cabo una reunión de actualización de construcción programada regularmente entre ILTexas, contratistas generales y arquitectos. Durante esta reunión, se nos informó que nuestro fabricante de unidades HVAC de techo, una empresa nacional, ya no podía garantizar que nuestras unidades HVAC llegarían como se prometió anteriormente, lo que significa que debemos mover la apertura de ILTexas Pearland K-8 e ILTexas Heritage K-8 hasta julio de 2024. Este retraso tiene un efecto dominó que retrasará la nueva construcción de ILTexas Aggieland High School, ILTexas Arlington-Grand Prairie High School, ILTexas Liberty High School e ILTexas Dallas High School hasta julio de 2025.
El factor impulsor detrás de este ajuste son los problemas de la cadena de suministro con las unidades HVAC de techo. ILTexas y el socio contratante, Key Construction Inc., iniciaron el pedido de las unidades seis meses antes de los plazos históricamente seguidos al construir campus. A pesar de los esfuerzos proactivos por parte de ILTexas y Key Construction, los fabricantes y proveedores aún no pudieron adquirir los microchips y los componentes necesarios para construir las unidades y entregarlas en junio de 2023, lo que impidió que la construcción de los campus se completaran en julio de 2023.

Key Construction, Inc.:
- Scott Casebolt, Presidente - Divisiones de Wichita y Cuentas Nacionales
- Doug Ricke, Gerente Sr. de Proyectos
