Board backs moving forward on split HVAC/roof bids and long‑range security planning while weighing ESSER and county funds
Summary
Facilities staff recommended advancing two bid packages for HVAC/roof and infrastructure projects (project 1 ≈ $1.70M; project 2 ≈ $1.20M) using ESSER funds for the first package and county capital allocation for potential overruns; board approved moving ahead and asked staff to coordinate funding and scheduling.
Facilities staff told the board that two major maintenance projects were bid in two parts because some contractors lacked capacity to perform both packages on the district timeline. The first bid was reported at about $1.70 million and the second at about $1.20 million; staff said $195,000 remained in an escrow/reserve account and recommended using ESSER funds for the first package with county capital or per‑student funds to cover overruns on the second.
Trustees discussed scheduling to accomplish work during summer and the procurement of equipment ahead of price changes; staff said pre-purchasing could mitigate price fluctuation and that contractors assured adequate manpower. The board approved the bid package motion and the facilities team said it will return updates on ordering and timelines. Separately, the board discussed a security-design RFQ that yielded three responding architect teams; staff will check references and bring a recommendation to the board for which sites to include in the first security phase.
