Board approves multiple roof contracts, appoints Title IX coordinator
Summary
The board approved several public-bid roofing contracts (White Castle Roofing $323,565; Dre Roofing $513,294; Martino Roofing $555,692; White Castle Roofing $129,000; Blackhawk Roofing $223,272 corrected) and appointed Ryan Provanca as the district nondiscrimination/Title IX coordinator during the Jan. 12 meeting.
The Ralston Public Schools Board approved a slate of construction contracts following public bidding. Motion votes were recorded for each contract during the board-action portion of the agenda:
- White Castle Roofing: $323,565 to replace the A wing roof at Ralston High School (motion and second recorded; roll-call vote in favor). - Dre Roofing: $513,294 to replace the roof at Meadows Elementary (motion and second recorded; roll-call vote in favor). - Martino Roofing: $555,692 for partial replacement at Wildwood Elementary (motion and second recorded; roll-call vote in favor). - White Castle Roofing (separate item): $129,000 for partial replacement covering the lower gym and main entrance at Ralston Middle School (motion and second recorded; roll-call vote in favor). - Blackhawk Roofing of Nebraska: $223,272 for reconditioning portions of roofs at Ralston Middle School and Ralston High School (motion and second; roll-call vote in favor).
Administration said the combined total for five construction jobs is under the district's original budget estimate and that staggering bid openings over several days produced more competitive results. The presenter noted that multiple contractors will allow projects to proceed concurrently through the summer.
Separately, the board appointed Ryan Provanca as the district nondiscrimination compliance coordinator and Title IX coordinator as required annually. A motion to appoint Provanca was moved, seconded and approved on roll call.
These procurement and personnel actions were taken in open session; the board later moved into executive session to discuss legal matters.
