Board approves easement for electric-bus charging and several procurement items including modular portables
Summary
The Garden Grove Unified School District board approved a resolution to convey an easement to Southern California Edison for bus‑charging infrastructure, extended multiple procurement bids, and approved a modular building procurement with a not‑to‑exceed procurement figure cited in the meeting.
The Garden Grove Unified School District Board of Education approved a package of business items that included a resolution to convey an easement to Southern California Edison to install electric bus charging at the Lampson Transportation Center and a set of procurement actions for software, security systems and modular buildings.
Item 6a: The board approved Resolution No. 28 to convey an easement to Southern California Edison Company at the Lampson Transportation Center to accommodate electric‑bus charging infrastructure. District staff told trustees the contract with the vendor to install charging stations (item 6d) includes eligibility for a Southern California Edison rebate of up to $528,000.
Procurement and bids: The board approved an extension of bid 2305 for a Workcom software extension, an extension of bid 2309 for RM System security systems, and approval of bid 2310 with Inchos Energy to install charging stations (valid from 04/17/2025 to 04/16/2026). The board also approved a preliminary service agreement and lease–leaseback arrangement for a multi‑site modular building project with development costs described as $25,000 and a procurement amount not to exceed $460,292.
Other action items approved included ratifying informal bid awards under the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act and rejecting a property damage claim from an individual identified in the agenda.
Votes: For the package of business items (6a–6k), the recorded roll call included Student Trustee Josephine Lee (Yes), Trustee Deana Nguyen (Yes), Trustee Walter Munyitel (Aye), Trustee Terry Rocco (Aye), Trustee Bob Hardin (Aye) and Chairperson Linwin (Yes). The board approved the items by majority vote.
Why this matters: The easement and associated contracts pave the way for electric‑bus charging infrastructure in the district, a step in fleet electrification that can affect future operating costs, site planning and grant or rebate eligibility.
Next steps: District staff will finalize vendor contracts and proceed with the installations and modular building procurements under the terms approved by the board.
