Board staff recommends routine construction and improvement requests including elementary grading, soccer field regrade, cafeteria upgrade and church-funded mur
Summary
Engineering and construction staff presented several capital and maintenance requests for board consideration, including grading work and field regrading, a cafeteria serving-line upgrade, and church-funded exterior and mural painting.
Engineering and construction staff presented a set of project items the board will consider for routine approval, including contract change orders and school improvement projects.
Staff said Copper Hill Elementary change order number 2 will complete the grading-package contract for bid number 3711; the transcript text included a figure recorded as “35 $1,850” for change order number 2 and staff listed the contract as the completion of the grading package. (Transcript text for the precise dollar figure was unclear; staff documentation attached to the agenda should be consulted for the exact amount.)
For Eagleville, principal Tim Pedigo requested donated equipment, labor and a regrade of property adjacent to the school to support a soccer field; the school would cover fuel costs (staff cited an estimated $2,000 for fuel) and would later raise funds for an irrigation system and a 2-inch tap meter estimated at roughly $30,000 for the field system. Staff said the project requires Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) approval and would be at no cost to the board for grading work.
La Verne High School’s nutrition department requested a serving-line upgrade for the cafeteria, at a cost of $45,200.75 to be funded from the fund balance (fund 143), staff said. Engineering and construction raised no objection to the request and staff noted the district tries to reduce fund balance as appropriate.
Daniel McKee (school) requested Experience Community Church clean and paint building exterior and paint interior murals; staff presented the church-funded request at $19,300 and noted engineering and construction had no objection. Board members thanked the church and discussed the scope of previous mural work in the county.
Why it matters: These items are routine capital/maintenance projects and, if approved, will affect school facilities and fund-balance planning.
What’s next: Staff will present formal change-order paperwork and project requests for board action on the consent or construction agenda; agenda attachments should be consulted for exact contract amounts and project specs.
