Board authorizes bid for concrete work at Galesburg Junior-Senior High; staff asks for alternate curb bid
Summary
The board approved moving forward with a payment project to finish paving at Galesburg Junior-Senior High School and asked staff to include an alternate bid option to add concrete curbing on the northwest side of the drive.
The school board approved a project to replace asphalt sections with concrete at the former runway/drive near Galesburg Junior-Senior High School and authorized staff to put the work out to bid. Presenters said two sections of asphalt at the northeast and southwest ends remain and that completing the drive in concrete would reduce maintenance where concrete and asphalt currently meet.
A board member asked staff to request an alternate bid option for concrete curbing on the northwest side of the drive; staff said the base specifications did not call for that curbing but that an add-on bid would let the board consider it if the price is reasonable. Staff emphasized that accepting the alternate would be discretionary depending on the final bid amounts.
Board members approved proceeding with the project and the request for an alternate curb bid; staff said if the final prices come in too high, the board would not be required to accept the alternate.
