Board awards Chico High roofing contract, citing safety concerns in gym area
Summary
Chico Unified awarded a bid for the Chico High School roofing project to Rua and Sons Mechanical after facilities staff described leaks into electrical rooms and gym areas that create safety issues; the board approved the contract unanimously and the contractor was slated to start July 1.
The Chico Unified School Board voted June 26 to award the Chico High School roofing contract to Rua and Sons Mechanical (Roseville) after facilities staff described a persistent leak that has reached areas with electrical equipment and affects gym use during wet weather.
Facilities presenter (speaker 15) told the board the leak affects the former main entrance area and electrical storage rooms, and that the gym leaks during rainy days create safety concerns and temporary relocations of athletic activities. "So we're we're looking to get this done for the safety of our children," the presenter said.
Board members asked for the low responsive bid amount; the figure was read during the meeting but the transcript of the specific dollar amount is not clearly legible in the record provided. Staff confirmed the lowest responsive bidder will begin work July 1 upon board approval. The board moved to approve the project and the motion passed unanimously.
Board members thanked facilities staff for recent emergency work at district sites, including moving HVAC equipment and coordinating with contractors. The board approved the contract by voice vote with no public comment recorded.
