Board approves districtwide sidewalk repair contract with True North, adds contingency
Summary
Trustees approved a districtwide concrete‑sidewalk replacement contract with True North and added a contingency to allow for winter‑season unknowns; work is planned to start once schools are out to avoid disrupting students.
The board approved a contract to replace district sidewalks and remove trip hazards at school properties across the L'Anse Creuse Public Schools district.
A presenter requested board approval for a concrete replacement contract; the lowest responsive bidder was True North. The presentation included a scope of work covering sidewalks at elementary, middle and high school sites and noted the district added a contingency to account for unknowns caused by Michigan winter conditions.
During the discussion a board member questioned whether the total included parking-lot work; staff clarified the request covers sidewalks only, not parking lots. Another trustee pointed out a typographical error in the agenda paperwork and the presenter corrected it during the meeting. The presenter said work would be scheduled to avoid interfering with student egress and end‑of‑year activities.
A motion to approve the contract carried. Staff said site lists and a phase schedule will be provided and that work would be scheduled to start after schools are out for the year.
