Ft. Zumwalt R-II board approves $9.72 million transportation center contract with automatic wash bay
Summary
The Ft. Zumwalt R-II Board of Education voted to award a $9,720,012 contract (base bid plus an automatic wash-bay alternate) to LCS for a new transportation center; staff will continue negotiating a developer cost-share for a sanitary-line upgrade and road boring. The board approved the award after staff explained bid alternates and reimbursement plans.
The Ft. Zumwalt R-II Board of Education on its regular meeting approved awarding a contract to LCS for a new district transportation center, accepting the base bid plus a recommended alternate that adds an automatic bus wash bay.
District facilities staff reported the low base bid of $9,367,012 and an Alternate 2 bid for an automatic wash bay of $353,000, for a combined total of $9,720,012. Facilities staff said they recommended awarding the base bid and Alternate 2 to LCS and asked the board for approval to continue negotiating an inter-party reimbursement related to a further Alternate 3.
On Alternate 3, staff explained that connecting the site to sanitary service for both the district and a neighboring developer would require upsizing from an 8-inch to a 10-inch sanitary line. The extra material cost the presenter described as $43,800 and staff estimated approximately $88,000 to bore under Salt River Road; the developer, staff said, had offered to reimburse the $43,800 and split the boring cost. District staff said they would return to the board if they chose to add that change order after any negotiated reimbursement was finalized.
Facilities staff emphasized LCS’s prior work in the district and asked the board to approve award of the base bid plus the wash-bay alternate. "Base bid was $9,367,012. Alternate 2 was $353,000. So the total amount would be to be awarded would be $9,720,012," the presenter said during the discussion.
Mister Allen moved to award the contract to LCS for the base bid and Alternate 2; Mister Brett seconded. The board approved the motion by voice vote.
Next steps outlined by staff included finalizing contract documents with LCS and continuing discussions with the neighboring developer about cost sharing for the sanitary-line work. Staff said they would return to the board for approval if they proceeded with Alternate 3 as a change order once terms were confirmed.
No board member recorded a roll-call breakdown of votes in the transcript; the approval was recorded after the motion, second and a voice "aye."
