Board approves $590,000 roof replacement contract for Dorothy McElhinney Middle School
Summary
The board awarded a roof‑replacement contract to Chapman Coast Roof Company for $590,000 for Dorothy McElhinney Middle School and discussed overage allowances and bidder responsibility; trustees said any cost overrun would return to the board for approval.
The Murrieta Valley Unified Board voted to award a contract to Chapman Coast Roof Company, Inc., for the Dorothy McElhinney Middle School roof replacement project in the amount of $590,000.
Trustees asked whether change orders or unforeseen conditions would be covered within the bid amount. A district staff member (Darren) said the district maintains a small overage allowance for the project and that any additional costs beyond that allowance would be brought back to the board for approval. Trustee Briggs asked whether the district is required to accept the lowest bidder; staff responded the district awards to the responsible bidder and confirmed a margin between bidders in this procurement.
The motion to award the contract carried on a unanimous voice vote. The board did not adopt additional contract amendments during the meeting; contract execution and any future change orders will follow district procurement rules and return to the board if they exceed established allowances.
