Tea Area board approves high-school roof bid, land purchase authorization and several routine items
Summary
The Tea Area School District 41-5 Board of Education approved a low bid of $820,004.72 for a high-school roof and authorized a multi-year purchase of roughly 21.46 acres with a $10,000 earnest payment to First Dakota Title.
The Tea Area School District 41-5 Board of Education approved multiple capital and consent items at the meeting, including a low bid for the high school roof, authorization for a multi-year land purchase and routine personnel items.
On the high school roofing project, the board accepted Guarantee Roofingas the low bidder at $820,004.72 and authorized award of the contract. District staff said the bid came in significantly below earlier estimates and that the contractor met bid specifications. District staff indicated work is to be completed by the start of school; staging on the older portion of the building may cause temporary disruptions to a parking area.
The board also authorized the purchase agreement for just over 21 acres of land to support projected future growth, approved the board president signing the purchase agreement, and approved a $10,000 earnest-money payment to First Dakota Title to secure the property. Staff described the property as roughly 21.46 acres, listed at $50,000 per acre in the materials presented, with a five-year purchase arrangement and no interest, and noted the board has until Nov. 19 to complete due diligence before risking the earnest money.
On routine consent items the board approved presented resignations and the slate of new hires. The transcript records a motion and voice votes for those items with no recorded opposition.
The minutes include a bill for a neon sign described inconsistently in the transcript (one passage lists a $400 deposit; a later passage refers to a $13,400 deposit). The transcript does not resolve the discrepancy; the board approved the bill as presented, and the deposit amount is listed as not specified in board records available in the transcript.
Board actions recorded at the meeting included approval of the roofing bid, authorization of the land purchase and escrow payment, and approval of consent items; motions were passed by voice vote with no recorded oppositions.
