Board orders bids for asphalt projects, approves perimeter-fence contracts for Hubbard and Silver Trail
Summary
Trustees asked staff to solicit bids for asphalt alternatives for Kuna Middle School event parking and Kuna High School student parking and approved Meridian Fence for perimeter fencing projects at Hubbard and Silver Trail elementary schools after discussing bids and timing concerns.
The board approved two facilities items that will change student parking and perimeter security at district sites.
Parking and asphalt bids: A trustee moved that staff obtain bids for asphalt alternatives for two projects — the Kuna Middle School event parking and a Kuna High School student parking-lot addition — to address students parking along the road. The motion to solicit bids passed by voice vote.
Perimeter fencing: Trustees reviewed bids for perimeter fencing at Hubbard and Silver Trail elementaries. Maintenance staff recommended a single contractor to do the district’s fence projects to simplify administration and scheduling. After discussion about price and vendor coordination, the board approved Meridian Fence to perform the Hubbard and Silver Trail fence projects and separately approved the Silver Trail contract for $14,177.49.
Nut graf: Why it matters — These approvals will change traffic/parking patterns at the middle and high schools and add perimeter fencing at two elementary schools; the fence choice also reflects a district preference to consolidate work with one contractor for maintenance efficiency.
Votes and next steps - Motion to solicit bids for asphalt alternatives: adopted (voice vote); staff to return with bids for board consideration. - Meridian Fence approved to perform fence work across the two elementary projects; Silver Trail fencing contract approved for $14,177.49; staff to proceed with contractor scheduling and work execution.
Ending: Trustees said they want aggressive but practical scheduling to complete projects before the next school year and asked staff to return with bid results and project timelines.
