Votes at a glance: board approves planned elective and awards design contract for Fort Vannoy seismic work
Summary
The board approved a planned elective course to be offered at Illinois Valley High School and voted to award a design‑services contract for a Fort Vannoy seismic rehabilitation project to a local engineering firm after competitive review and negotiation of a 13% fee.
The Three Rivers School District board approved two formal items during the meeting: a planned course statement for a new elective at Illinois Valley High School and a recommendation to award design services for a seismic rehabilitation project.
Planned course: District staff proposed a planned course in Latin American culture to be offered for elective credit at Illinois Valley High School, taught by Jamie Sciarto. A board member moved to approve the planned course statement; the motion received a second and the board voted in favor.
Design contract award: Superintendent Dave Valenzuela reported that two engineering firms bid on the Fort Vannoy seismic rehabilitation project, and a local firm (ZCS Engineering) scored highest in the district’s review. Valenzuela said the district negotiated a 13% design fee (described as industry standard) and recommended the board award the contract to ZCS. A board member moved to approve the recommendation, the motion was seconded, and the board voted to award the design‑services contract.
Votes and outcomes recorded on the public record during the meeting were: planned course statement — approved; recommendation to award design services for Fort Vannoy — approved. The consent agenda was also approved earlier in the meeting.
