District recommends $442,780 repair to extend life of PCEC roof for 5–6 years
Summary
Portage Public Schools staff recommended the board accept a bid to repair the PCEC roof; the lowest qualified base bid was $371,407 and the recommended total with alternates and fees is $442,780 charged to the building‑and‑site sinking fund.
District staff presented a recommendation to repair the roof at the Portage Career and Education Center (PCEC) to extend the building's service life an estimated five to six years.
Staff said the lowest qualified base bid from Apex Industrial Roofing totaled $371,407 (including an alternate walkway). With contingency, management and associated fees the grand total proposed was $442,780. The board was told the project would be managed by OAK and funded from the district's building‑and‑site sinking fund; the superintendent noted that the sinking‑fund extension approved by voters continues to support such capital work.
Staff characterized a roughly 10% contingency as standard and said any unused contingency funds would return to the district. Trustees voiced support for moving forward given the building's original 1951 construction date and ongoing maintenance needs.
No final contract award was recorded in the open session; staff presented the recommendation and invited questions and confirmation of project management and funding.
