Committee forwards James Wood stormwater agreement to full board; playground contract discussion sent for full-board consideration
Summary
The Buildings & Grounds Committee voted to forward a James Wood High School stormwater maintenance agreement to the full board with a recommendation of approval and decided to place a proposed $221,213.66 Armel Elementary playground contract on the full-board agenda for further review.
The Frederick County Buildings & Grounds Committee on Aug. 11 moved two procurement and compliance items to the full board for action or further review.
Stormwater maintenance agreement: Committee members heard that the county and the Department of Environmental Quality require a stormwater-management plan maintenance agreement for the stormwater features added during the James Wood High School construction. Mr. Shepherd said the agreement requires the board chair’s signature and establishes inspection and reimbursement duties for repairs. Committee member moved and seconded a recommendation to forward the James Wood High School stormwater management plan maintenance agreement to the full board with a recommendation of approval; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Playground contract: Mr. Davis presented a proposed award of $221,213.66 to PlayPower LTE Farmington for new playground equipment at Armel Elementary under a cooperative contract that the district may “ride.” Several board members asked for additional pricing context, including recent prices other districts paid under the cooperative agreement, and expressed interest in inviting competitive bids. The committee agreed there was no action to take that night; staff will add the item to the full-board agenda and provide supporting pricing and cooperative-agreement details.
