Summary
District administrators said work on current projects is on schedule and outlined a bidding schedule for Southwood Elementary: pre-bid March 24, bids due April 14, and final board approval expected April 28; high-school work remains under review and may move to May for approval.
The Presenter updated the board on construction work across the district, saying a floor has been poured at an active site and that project work is "still on schedule." He detailed the procurement timeline for Southwood Elementary: advertisements for bids will begin in March, a pre-bid meeting is set for March 24, bids are due April 14, and the board will review results with anticipated approval at the April 28 meeting.
The Presenter said Southwood High School planning is ongoing and may be delayed: "it may be similar, or it may be pushed back a little bit... the latest that it would go to as far as board approval for the high school, would be that last board meeting in May," giving the board flexibility if additional work is required.
Why it matters: the schedule sets community expectations for construction timing and for when contractors will be chosen. Board members were given the dates to plan for review and final approval.
Next steps: staff will run the advertised procurement schedule and return to the board for contract review and approval at the meetings specified.
