Board discussion
Trustees asked staff to explain the variance among the three bids for the E‑Rate licensing item; staff said two vendors submitted three‑year SKU pricing when only a one‑year license was requested, which disqualified those submissions under the district’s evaluation. The district recommended the lowest responsive bidder, Gigacom.
On the store‑front change order, staff explained that DSA back‑check requirements and an Orange County Fire Authority clarification required a 45‑minute fire rating for the aluminum framing and tempered glass in the affected area; the vendor identified the omission and submitted the change request. Trustees emphasized that safety and meeting code requirements justified the small cost increase.
No public comments were recorded during the meeting’s hearing session. The board adjourned after a closed session with no reportable action.
