Summary
Board authorized bid advertising for roof replacements and boiler work with pre-bid Feb. 9 and bid opening Feb. 17; consultants estimated roughly $3.6 million for the initial package. Construction updates included completion timelines for the field house, kitchen demolition, and playground permitting.
The Richland-Bean Blossom C S C board authorized advertisement of bids for a multi-school roofing and mechanical package at its Jan. 20 meeting, following a construction progress presentation from district contractors.
Consultants said contract documents and specifications are complete; the district plans to bid roofing at the primary, intermediate and junior high schools and to include boiler replacements for the junior high and the high school. Advertisement dates were set for Jan. 28 and Feb. 4 in the public notice; a pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9 at 1 p.m., and bids will be opened Feb. 17 at 2 p.m.
The consultants estimated construction costs around $3.6 million for the initial package. Secondary projects discussed include baseball and softball turf documents due March 6 with a likely bid opening near April 1, and music additions with schematic design completion targeted for March 16 and final documents by June 24, with potential contract awards at the Aug. 18 board meeting.
District construction staff reported the field house track was resurfaced during the holiday break, that punch-list items remain for both the field house and the new kitchen, and that the renovated cafeteria space (conversion of the old kitchen) aims for substantial completion by Jan. 30. Administrators noted some point-of-sale workflow and cash-register electrical questions in the new kitchen will be studied before any change orders are approved.
The board voted to authorize advertising the bids after contractor presentations.
