Board hears ESIP, capital project and bid updates; contingencies remain
Summary
Operations reported on ESIP change orders, allowances used on preschool and field work, a favorable low bid for the Coleman roof, and remaining contingencies; business office noted options for how to allocate leftover contingency funds.
The board received a fiscal and facilities update covering ESIP work, allowances and recent bid activity.
Business/operations reported $25,000 used from an allowance for preschool work ($22,000 pump replacement and a $2,700 unit‑ventilator aesthetic change) and a $7,700 request for a field electrical pedestal. ESIP change order number 2 for electrical upgrades at the high school totaled $50,893; the district expects a $7,000 giveback from piping and insulation adjustments. The operations officer said roughly $226,000 of contingency remains in the ESIP budget and that the district can either allocate the funds to listed potential projects after receiving a master commissioning report or apply the money toward debt service on the project bonds.
On bids, the Coleman roof low bid came in approximately $30,000 favorable to earlier estimates and will be presented at the next action meeting; exterior stair bids that previously exceeded budget will be rebid.
Why it matters: Ongoing capital work and contingency decisions affect the district’s budget and timing for additional projects; favorable bid results can free local funds for other priorities.
Next steps: The board will review final bid awards on the next action agenda; administrators will present the ESIP master commissioning report and recommend contingency allocations.
