District to seek bids for Wilkins roof; Garland to procure estimates at no cost
Summary
A Garland Company representative told the board the manufacturer can prepare specifications and obtain contractor bids for a Wilkins roof replacement at no charge to the district and that local labor availability makes earlier bidding advisable to avoid summer scheduling conflicts.
A Garland Company representative briefed the board Wednesday on next steps for replacing the roof at Wilkins Elementary School and recommended soliciting bids promptly to avoid rising local labor demand.
Sam Roberts of Garland said the company helped prepare scope documents for the district—s facilities-improvement grant application and can procure contractor estimates and coordinate specification development at no cost to Woodland Hills if the board authorizes the solicitation. Roberts recommended the district solicit bids quickly because the local market for roofers is expected to be busy in the coming construction season and because roof replacements benefit from summer scheduling.
Garland offered to provide on-site quality-control inspections and photographic progress reports as part of its manufacturer services and to act as the 30-year warranty holder for the chosen system. Roberts listed recent local projects by Garland—s installers and said the company can support cooperative purchasing options that comply with state bidding rules.
Why it matters: The Wilkins roof is part of the district—s facilities-improvement grant work and has a substantial grant allocation; staff recommended authorizing Garland to move forward with bid procurement so the project can be scheduled in the summer.
No formal procurement award was taken in committee; Garland requested authorization to procure estimates and move documents forward for bidding.
