Board to consider high school roof planning, emergency boiler repairs and acceptance of a single vehicle bid
Summary
District maintenance staff briefed the board about long-range roof replacement planning for the high school, an emergency boiler valve repair to restore heat and a single $500 bid for a retired Chevy Cobalt. The roof work and emergency repair items are slated for the board vote Tuesday; administration will upload detailed quotes before the vote.
District maintenance staff told the school board they are starting the procurement process for a planned high school roof project and will present formal bid documents to the board next month.
Carmen, a district maintenance official, said a thermal inspection showed the high school roof approaching the end of its useful life; staff are exploring overlay (liquid membrane) options versus full tear-off and replacement. The district said it has set aside money in fund balance and capital reserves for major roof work and hopes to schedule construction either over the coming summer break or during the 2026–27 fiscal year depending on scope. "He just wanted you to know that he is starting to work on that," a staff member said.
Separately, staff asked the board to add emergency boiler repairs to the Tuesday voting agenda. Those repairs follow a boiler contractor’s work last year that required draining the system; maintenance staff said the system is currently shut down and cannot be restarted until certain isolation valves are installed or replaced. In the meeting the district provided a part number for an isolation valve (reported as "1200875") and said it had two quotes for a set of replacement valves. A dollar figure discussed in the meeting was unclear in the transcript; administration said it will upload the final quotes and the revised agenda before Tuesday so board members can review accurate costs.
The board also heard about a single sealed bid for a decommissioned Chevy Cobalt. The board packet listed one bid of $500 from "Carmen Jet"; staff said anyone, including employees, may submit a bid and the board will be asked to accept or reject the lone bid at the Tuesday meeting.
Why it matters: the roof project is a multi-year capital item that the district plans to fund from reserves; the boiler repairs were described as an emergency needed to restore heating. Administration said emergency repair funds are available for this unbudgeted work and that full documentation and quotes will be posted with the revised agenda.
Board action: the roof planning is currently informational with staff seeking direction on bids; the boiler valve installation and the bid acceptance for the Chevy Cobalt were placed on the upcoming voting agenda.
