Summary

Trustees approved a facilities condition assessment contract with Turner, Townsend & Heery, using a purchasing cooperative to establish a district baseline of facility conditions to inform short- and long-term capital planning.

The board voted to contract Turner, Townsend & Heery to perform a districtwide facilities condition assessment. The district said the assessment will produce a unified, prioritized inventory of facility systems to inform short-term repairs and long-range capital planning.

Staff explained that using a purchasing cooperative allowed the district to avoid a time-consuming RFP and take advantage of a vendor experienced with public-school condition assessments. The district noted the state-required reporting cadence and that a comprehensive assessment supports better budgeting and coordination with county capital planning.

The motion to approve the contract passed by voice vote as presented (6-0). Staff said the output will be used for capital-prioritization and for state reporting where applicable.
