Committee rescinds Keystone contract for ESE sprinkler, plans to break work into smaller projects
Summary
The committee voted to rescind the Keystone contract for the ESE sprinkler system and directed staff to break the scope into smaller projects to identify and fix building-specific issues; staff also requested cost documentation from Keystone before further design work.
The Properties & Facilities Committee voted to rescind the district’s contract with Keystone for the ESE sprinkler project and to repackage the work into smaller scopes that isolate specific building deficiencies.
Josh and staff said they had asked Keystone to assemble all incurred costs to date; Keystone had expressed concern about the possibility of contract cancellation. District staff said they are holding further design or preconstruction work to avoid increasing costs before the board’s vote. The motion to rescind and to re-bid or re-scope the work into smaller projects passed on a voice vote.
Committee members said the goal is to identify only the sections of the building that actually need repair, reduce unnecessary preconstruction spending and ensure procurement compliance; staff said they will return with cost details and recommended next steps.
Next steps: staff will request Keystone’s cost submissions, evaluate segmented scopes, solicit additional proposals if needed and report back to the committee prior to contracting for summer work.
