School Districts
The whole district, inside the window you have.
District exhaust compliance is an administrative problem as much as a mechanical one. Every building has its own hood, its own inspection history, and its own fire authority. We run districts as one program with per-site documentation the district can file.
What is different about this work
A district is not one kitchen at a larger scale. It is thirty or sixty kitchens, each in its own building, each with its own inspection history, and each visited by a fire marshal who is looking at that building rather than at the district. A high school production kitchen and an elementary warming kitchen do not belong at the same interval, and NFPA 96 Table 12.4 settles that before anyone's preference does.
The summer window is the constraint everything else bends around, and it is not yours alone. Flooring, roofing, painting, and equipment service are working the same weeks, custodial staff are on summer hours, and buildings are locked. Summer meal sites keep some kitchens running straight through it. A route that reaches every building has to be planned before the school year ends.
By the time you are choosing a contractor, the cleaning is assumed. What you need to know is whether they can hold a multi-site route for weeks without slipping, whether the paperwork clears procurement on the first pass, and whether the crews in your buildings are people you are comfortable having there. The documentation has to be per building, because that is how it will be inspected.
The constraints we plan around
The window is fixed and short
Summer break is the work. Routes are planned well ahead so every building is covered inside it, with break periods used for anything that slips.
Procurement is the first gate
Certificates of insurance, W-9s, vendor registration, and board paperwork are handled as routine.
Fire marshals inspect buildings, not districts
Per-site reports and per-site stickers, so each building stands on its own record.
Crews are in school buildings
Uniformed, badged technicians. Access and personnel requirements are planned for before the first day.
What changes, and what does not
The cleaning scope is the same NFPA 96 work everywhere. What changes is the scheduling, the documentation format, and how access is handled.
- Multi-site scheduling built around the academic calendar
- Per-building service reports plus a district-level record
- Vendor paperwork handled as routine
- Uniformed, badged technicians familiar with school building access
- Deficiencies photographed and quoted so the district can budget the correction
A documented inspection, yours to keep
For school districts (K-12), we will walk the system and give you a documented look at its condition: photographs of what is actually in the ductwork and at the fan, with findings referenced to NFPA 96 and IKECA cleanliness thresholds. It is yours to use internally whether or not you work with us.
