Summary
The school board approved a revised 10-year capital-improvement plan, awarded a $1.92 million contract for a KEE membrane roof at SPASH and authorized administration to solicit bids for three PA-system projects (with a per-building cap shown in the CIP). The 2027 CIP projects were listed at $2,520,900 for the year.
The board approved revisions to its 10-year capital improvement plan and took immediate action on several projects during the Jan. 12 meeting.
Administrators recommended four 2027 projects — a new roof at SPASH and three public-address (PA) system upgrades at Kennedy, Washington and Clover/Whiting — with the 2027 column totaling $2,520,900. After discussion about timing and durability, the board approved the revised CIP by motion.
For SPASH the board approved awarding a KEE membrane roof with a 30‑year warranty to Mower Roofing (recommended contractor) for $1,920,900 after questions about large bid variances and warranty terms. Board members were told the membrane option typically yields longer warranty coverage and may help long-term insurance/rate considerations.
Separately, the board authorized administration to solicit final quotations and begin vendor selection for the three PA-system projects and to proceed with work without returning for additional board approval so long as final costs remain within the CIP caps (administration said roughly $200,000 per building was the placeholder in the plan). If quotes exceed the stated caps, administration will return to the board for approval.
Next steps: administration will issue RFPs/quotes for PA systems, proceed with standard procurement, and report back if bids exceed budgeted caps.
