Board approves $974,345 contract to replace Sheridan High woodshop dust collector
Summary
Trustees approved awarding the Sheridan High School woodshop dust‑collector replacement to Odell Construction for $974,345 using state capital funds; presentation noted increased CTE programming and a $1.5 million capital allocation from the state for the project.
The board approved replacing the high‑school woodshop dust collector, awarding the low qualifying bidder, Odell Construction, a contract for $974,345 using state capital funds. Facilities staff said the project is part of a larger expansion of career‑technical education (CTE) programming; the state provided approximately $1.5 million in capital funding to support design and construction for the upgrade.
Facilities staff said a change discovered during bidding related to the finishing room's fire‑resistance rating will be handled through a change order with the state and that the bids otherwise were apples‑to‑apples. The extra fire‑rating work was estimated informally at $20,000–$30,000 and will be incorporated as an additional design and change order through the state process.
Trustees voted by voice to approve the contract; the chair called the motion and the vote carried. Staff noted the replacement timeline and confirmed there is an existing dust collector being replaced (installed circa 2011). The project will be funded with state capital dollars allocated for CTE improvements.
