Committee backs replacing three rows of high‑school gym bleachers, to seek full‑board approval
Summary
Staff presented bids for replacing three lower rows of high-school gym bleachers; the committee voted to forward a three-row replacement—estimated $15,274—to the full board and discussed using capital-reserve funds.
Facilities staff told the committee the high-school gym's lower bleacher rows show cracking and deflection and recommended replacing the bottom three rows now rather than piecemeal. Vendor pricing presented: one row $7,734 (about $96 per seat), two rows $11,002.54 (about $73/seat) and three rows $15,274 (about $63/seat).
Committee members who attended a recent event described visible cracking and expressed concern about safety and further degradation. Staff and members noted a capital-reserve balance (committee cited more than $650,000) and suggested using reserve funds for the project to capture lower per-seat costs by doing all three rows at once. The committee voted to send the three-row replacement to the full board for approval and budget authorization.
Next steps: the full board will review the vendor proposal and capital-reserve funding request; facilities staff will include cost breakdowns and any available warranty/stock details in the board packet.
