Board approves Country Landscapes bid for central playground site preparation
Summary
The Nevada Community School District Board approved a bid from Country Landscapes to perform site preparation work for the central playground renovation; the board moved and seconded the motion and voted to approve the contract during the Dec. 16 meeting.
The Nevada Community School District Board of Education voted on Dec. 16 to accept a bid from Country Landscapes to perform site preparation for the district—s central playground renovation, the board said during its meeting at Gates.
A board member moved to approve the quote from Country Landscapes for site prep, listing work items including mulch removal, backfill, compaction, dirt, pea gravel and dialing preparation for the central playground renovation. A second followed; the board chair called for the vote and members responded "Aye." The motion passed.
District discussion leading up to the vote referenced district estimates and vendor outreach. Board members said two vendors failed to provide formal quotes and that the district had previously used County/Central Iowa vendors for other projects and considered their work professional. A board member noted prior high-end estimates discussed at earlier meetings.
The motion on the record (verbatim from the meeting): "I—ll move to approve the quote from Country Landscapes in the amount of 343,000 or $267.50 for, mulch removal, backfill, compaction, dirt, pea gravel, and dialing preparation for the central playground renovation." The board later stated the motion and second were on record and the motion passed after an oral vote.
The board did not enter detailed discussion in public about contract timeline, payment schedule or exact contract amount; those details were not specified in the meeting transcript. The district plans to begin site work after school is out next summer, according to board remarks about scheduling and vendor availability.
The board also approved the consent agenda in the same meeting and added a note to earlier minutes to capture student names from a seventh grade event.
