Board hears timeline and cost questions for Rocky Hill portable replacement
Summary
Board members asked staff about timing and cost for a replacement portable at Rocky Hill Elementary; staff said approval by the board is required before a vendor timeline can be firmed, and discussed market-driven price variability for portables.
Board members asked for a timeline and cost context on April 7 for a replacement portable proposed for Rocky Hill Elementary School; staff said a firm schedule depends on board approval and site construction work and that they will provide an update at the May meeting if the board approves the item.
Board member Ms. Pike asked when the portable could be delivered; staff said the district must first approve the purchase and then consult the vendor for timeline details and site work. Facilities staff noted that market conditions have previously delayed portable delivery and that several years ago a new portable could cost between $800,000 and $1 million, while used portables were often around $625,000. Board members were told the current vendor is a term-bid contractor and can sometimes deliver lower-cost new units (transcript blocks starting 4356.81 and 4446.3).
Ms. Pike requested an age report for portables serving District 4; staff said they maintain inventory and will share ages. No formal action occurred during the work session; the portable purchase will come to the board for approval on the regular agenda and then to the County Commission for final action, at which point staff will provide a projected timeline to members.
