Board approves nearly $1.5 million in perimeter fencing and concrete work at three high schools
Summary
Trustees approved bids for perimeter fencing and site concrete improvements at Hayden, Fernley and Yerington high schools on May 27. The two lowest qualified bidders submitted bids totaling $1,494,099.52; staff said the work will be scheduled so concrete pours and fencing installation are coordinated to avoid rework.
The Lyon County School District Board of Trustees on May 27 authorized contracts for perimeter fencing and site concrete improvements at Hayden, Fernley and Yerington high schools, awarding the combined project to the lowest qualified bidders with a combined price of $1,494,099.52.
What the board approved: Staff recommended awarding the fencing work and the concrete work to qualified bidders that submitted the lowest responsible bids. The recommended contract awards total $749,731.52 and $744,368 respectively; the combined total reported at the meeting was $1,494,099.52. Trustees approved the awards unanimously.
Why it matters: The work is part of the district’s approved capital improvement plan and intended to improve campus perimeter security and site circulation. Staff emphasized the need to coordinate schedules so concrete pours are finished before fencing operations that require drilling or other work that could damage new concrete.
Procurement details: Operations staff reported multiple bids for the concrete work and a single qualified fencing bid in the second round of bidding. Architects and operations will bring the selected contractors together to coordinate sequencing and logistics to avoid rework.
Timeline: Baines said the district expects the work to be completed before the first day of school and that the schedule is tight; staff said approval at the May 27 meeting was necessary to keep the schedule intact.
Ending: The board approved the contracts and directed staff to finalize coordination of schedules and to keep trustees apprised of project milestones and any significant changes.
