Operations committee presents $1.048M design change order, $215K DOT‑reimbursed engineering contract and major technology buys
Loading...
Summary
The operations committee reported a $1,048,000 design development change order to keep an elementary school project on schedule, a $215,000 Jacky's Creek design contract (DOT reimbursed), a $619,316.55 three‑year Microsoft licensing commitment and a $708,019.38 Chromebook purchase slated for the consent agenda and later approved.
Miss Cook told the board that Sawyer Sherwood presented schematic design work for the elementary school project and staff recommended a change order of $1,048,000 to authorize the design development phase so the consultant could remain on schedule.
She also reported that staff negotiated a design-services contract for the Jacky's Creek project in the amount of $215,000; Miss Cook stated that this contract will be reimbursed by the Department of Transportation. On technology purchases, the low Microsoft licensing bid was $206,438.85, which results in a three‑year licensing total of $619,316.55, and the committee recommended a Chromebook purchase from Timber Creek for $708,019.38, to be paid from the 2025–26 capital outlay budget.
These items were placed on the consent agenda for board approval. The board approved the consent items by voice vote later in the meeting; no separate roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript. The change order and procurement approvals were described as necessary to keep projects on schedule and to provision devices and licensing for district needs.
Board discussion about the specific change order amount or contract terms did not occur on the record beyond the committee report; the operations committee materials and contract documents will be the primary sources for details of scope, schedule and payment terms.
