Board approves $170,000 KSQ work authorization for temporary kitchen design; capital-project updates presented
Summary
Trustees approved a work authorization to design a temporary kitchen (lump sum $170,000) and received multi-phase capital-project updates from KSQ, including permit submissions and phase scheduling for schools across the district.
The Board of Education accepted a pulled consent item (B66) after discussion and approved an authorization that allows the district's architect (KSQ) to engage consultants and design a temporary kitchen to support operations while the ValleyGum kitchen work proceeds.
Board members described B66 as authorizing KSQ to bring in food-service consultants, design a temporary kitchen and purchase equipment that can later be reinstalled in the permanent kitchen. The work authorization was described in the meeting as a lump sum of $170,000 for design and consultant services.
Facilities committee trustees also presented a district-wide capital-project update prepared with KSQ. Phase 1 work (administration area) was turned over and vestibule work completed; window shade installations and rescue-window schedules were underway. Phase 2 corridor exploration and phase 3 kickoff were reported as in progress. Phase 4 construction documents were submitted for permit review, and phase 5 programming workshops at Miller Middle School and Crosby Elementary School were underway. The project team described a bond scope figure stated in the meeting as "$20.23" for per-school bond scope; trustees asked for follow-up details and clarified that some alternate work (parking lot paving) would not proceed as part of the current contract due to inaccurate alternate pricing.
Operational notes included delivery of exterior door signs, planned split-unit HVAC installations at the high school, stage-lighting quotes and plans to add classroom-purpose lighting on auditorium stages. Trustees also discussed trustee building inspections and upcoming schedules for facility walk-throughs.
The temporary-kitchen design authorization and the capital-project updates were presented as part of the consent and facilities reports; trustees asked for additional design-team involvement and committed to further discussion at subsequent meetings.
