Board moves forward on water‑line replacement, handrail, sidewalk and bond parameters
Summary
The board reviewed finance committee recommendations and approved (motioned/supported) contracts and change orders including a domestic water replacement bid (CSM Capital LLC, not to exceed $421,250), a decorative handrail change order (amount not to exceed $79,422, contractor name transcribed inconsistently), additional sidewalk (amount not to exceed $45,937, contractor name transcribed inconsistently), and reviewed parameters for up to $30 million in 2026 refunding bonds.
The Lapeer Community School Board considered and moved to approve several capital recommendations from its finance committee at Tuesday's meeting.
The committee recommended awarding bid pack 7 — a high school domestic water replacement — to CSM Capital LLC for an amount not to exceed $421,250; staff explained the work replaces leaking main lines that feed drinking and kitchen water. The board discussed timing and confirmed some sidewalk work was advanced so students would not need to walk through dirt at drop‑off points.
The board also addressed bond‑related change orders: change order 31 (a decorative handrail for the high school auditorium and lobby) was presented with a recommended not‑to‑exceed amount of $79,422; change order 32 (additional sidewalk at Lapeer High School) was recommended at up to $45,937. Motions for both change orders were made and supported during the meeting. The finance committee also reviewed and recommended a resolution to authorize issuance of up to $30,000,000 in 2026 refunding bonds, to be sold under parameters set by the district’s financial advisor, PFM, and subject to a minimum present value savings threshold.
Transcript spellings for contractor names were inconsistent in the meeting record (see audit notes). Where a contractor name is unclear, the board packet or finalized minutes should be consulted for the official vendor names and contract documents.
