Board approves consent agenda and multiple bond‑funded construction contracts

At its December meeting, the Bloomfield Hills Schools Board of Education approved the consent agenda and moved forward with several bond and sinking‑fund construction and renovation contracts.

Trustee Noble moved to approve the consent agenda as presented; the motion passed on voice vote and was recorded as 6‑0. The board then considered multiple finance and facilities items that had been vetted by the finance & operations committee.

The board voted to award Bid Package 15 (transportation renovations and East Over parking improvements) in the amount of $4,471,072.90 inclusive of a 10% contingency, to be paid from the bond fund and sinking fund. Trustees then approved Bid Package 16 (Booth Center renovations) for $1,556,384.50 and Bid Package 17 (high school west wing renovations) for $972,141.64, both with contingencies and to be funded from the bond fund. The board also approved RFP awards for roof replacements at Paintfields High School and South Hills Middle School split between Butcher & Butcher Construction and Tri State Roofing and Sheet Metal LLC with combined totals noted in the record.

Board materials and committee recommendations indicate the transportation project is the largest remaining item tied to the district’s 2020 bond closeout; trustees discussed dual‑funding some items from both bond and sinking funds to maintain flexibility during project closeout.

All construction and consent agenda motions were approved unanimously, recorded in the minutes as passing 6‑0. No amendments or dissenting votes were made during the discussion of these items.
