LSR‑7 selects ATG low bid (~$9.2M) to replace high‑school turf; district to cover modest overage from maintenance/contingency
Summary
Following an RFQ/RFP and product review, the district reported ATG submitted the low construction bid for the 2025 turf replacement project at approximately $9.2 million; the original bond allocation was $9 million and staff plan to use maintenance/contingency funds to cover the difference.
District facilities staff presented results of a competitive procurement for replacement of athletic turf tied to the 2025 bond.
Mr. Gorrell said the district issued an RFQ, conducted in‑person interviews with finalists and visited existing installations. He reported the low construction bid from ATG was approximately $9.2 million while the bond award originally allocated $9 million for the project.
"So the low bid was from ATG for approximately 9,200,000.0," Mr. Gorrell said. Staff noted the final project scope expanded from turf alone to include peripheral improvements such as batting cages, additional fencing and plaza work, which contributed to the higher price. The district intends to use maintenance and repair budget dollars and contingency funding to fund the overage.
During Q&A, board members asked about life expectancy and the delta between the low and high bids; staff said bid spread was less than a 10% swing and expected conservative useful life of at least 10 years and probably more like 15 years for the selected product.
The committee reviewed the procurement and cost plan; staff will return with final contract documents and construction schedules.
