Board approves renovation bid for district transportation building
Summary
The school board approved a renovation contract for the district's transportation building that includes an alternate bid to repurpose storage space and an estimated total project cost with contingency and fees.
The Ball Chatham CUSD 5 board on May 28 approved a bid package for renovations to the district transportation building, including an alternate to convert an underused storage room when funding was approved.
The administration presented alternate bid No. 1 for $125,600 to upgrade the northeast corner storage area and reported a base bid that the administration described as $446,900. The administration said it applies a 5% contingency to all projects, and estimated architectural fees of approximately 9.5% plus a 2% site‑visit fee; the administration presented an estimated total project amount of about $545,920. The board voted to approve the bid as presented.
A district presenter asked if there were any questions; board members moved and recorded an affirmative voice vote to adopt the contract recommendation. The meeting record does not show the contractor's name, contract terms, or the source of funds for the project beyond the administration's presentation.
The board recorded the motion and vote during regular business; staff indicated the project will proceed under the usual procurement and project‑management practices.
