Summary
The Lincoln County School Board approved a bid to laser grade and replace turf at the high school football field, including sprinkler work and an optional two-year maintenance add-on; the motion passed by roll call with seven board members present and one absent.
The Lincoln County School Board voted to approve a bid to laser grade, replace sod and update sprinkler infrastructure at the Lincoln County High School football field, with an ad-alternate option for two years of ongoing maintenance.
During discussion, district staff member Mr. Saul said the field has not been completely re-laid since about 1994 and described drainage and turf issues along the sidelines. He said the project will include laser grading, replacement of sprinkler heads and initial herbicide, fertilizer, sand and rolling work. "We're gonna laser grade that. They will replace the sprinkler heads," Saul said during the presentation.
Board members were told the low bid came from a local company and that available funds for the project were leftover from a roofing project. The presenter said the bid came in under budget and that the district had funds to cover the base bid and the ad-alternate for maintenance, though the two-year maintenance add-on is more than originally budgeted.
After a motion, second and roll-call, the board recorded seven members present with one absence and approved the bid. Chair announced, "It passes." The board did not specify the vendor name in the public presentation.
Next steps: staff will finalize the contract and work with facilities to schedule the grading and installation and implement the one-year maintenance plan included in the contract as described by staff.
