Summary

The board considered a bid to replace drapes in the district’s Center for Performing Arts, with a motion to award a $45,000 base contract plus a 15% contingency; the motion and discussion were recorded but the final vote or outcome is not specified in the transcript segments provided.

The Board of Education considered a recommendation and bid summary to replace drapes in the district Center for Performing Arts (CPA). A motion was recorded to award the CPA drapes project with a base contract of $45,000 and a 15% contingency ($6,750), for a total not to exceed $51,750 to be paid from bond funds.

The motion was moved on the record and seconded. Board members discussed technical details: stage layout, the types of drape tracks (travelers, mid-stage travelers, legs and borders), the total material needed on long spans, expected longevity of new drapes and coordination with potential future sound-system work funded by the 2017 bond. One board member asked how the district selects among bidders when there is a price difference; staff explained they take the lowest responsive bid.

The transcript captures the motion, the dollar figures and substantive stage-technical discussion; the provided segments do not record the final vote tally or an explicit adoption outcome.

What happens next: the board retained the motion on the record and staff will proceed with procurement steps consistent with the board’s direction and the district’s bond-fund constraints. If a vote occurred later in the meeting packet not captured here, that outcome should be verified in the official minutes.
