District updates construction schedule; board authorizes bid award for Norris TK expansion
Summary
District construction staff reported near-term completion on Veterans and Olive Drive TK projects, outlined the Norris Elementary TK expansion (budgeted at $8.01M) and the Gossamer Grove TK–6 project (~$65M), and the board authorized the superintendent to award the Norris TK contract to the low bidder.
District facilities staff updated the board on multiple capital projects and sought authority to award a forthcoming bid for the Norris Elementary transitional kindergarten classroom expansion.
Dan reported Veterans TK construction would finish core work (concrete, asphalt, flooring) this week with only landscaping remaining and estimated a minor budget variance of roughly $4,000 over the original contract. Olive Drive’s TK project was slightly behind schedule but expected to be ready for teachers to move in by next week and was running under budget by about $4,795.48. For Norris Elementary, Dan said temp fencing will be installed and bids for the TK expansion are scheduled for August 19; the project budget is listed at $8,006,400.
The board authorized the superintendent to award the Norris TK contract to the low bidder when bids are received. Dan also outlined the longer‑range Gossamer Grove TK–6 project — a 14‑acre site appraised near $3.8 million with preliminary construction estimates of roughly $65 million and a tentative construction start in 2026.
Board members praised the competitive bidding process and asked staff to keep the board updated on final bid results and landscaping timelines.
