Nassau County School Board approves three facilities procurements, delays millage oversight report
Summary
At its Nov. 14 meeting the Nassau County School Board approved a relocatable infrastructure change order and replacement bids for coolers/freezers at West Nassau High and Bryceville Elementary; the board postponed the millage oversight committee report to Dec. 12.
The Nassau County School Board on Nov. 14 approved three facilities-related procurements and removed a millage referendum oversight report from the agenda, the board said at its regular meeting.
Superintendent Dr. Burns asked the board to postpone the millage oversight committee report and to remove agenda item No. 5 (a concurrency waiver) for the Dec. 12 meeting; the board adopted the agenda as revised by voice vote. Dr. Burns then recommended approval of three action items related to campus facilities.
The first was "Wildlife relocatable infrastructure change order number 1," which Dr. Burns recommended the board approve. A motion and second were made and the chair called for a voice vote; the board answered "Aye." The transcript records the recommendation and the approval by voice vote; no roll-call tally was read into the record.
The board then approved the West Nassau High School cooler/freezer replacement bid. Meeting discussion recorded the KBT bid for West Nassau as $284,000. A motion and second were made and the chair called for a voice vote; the board answered "Aye." The transcript does not record a roll-call tally or named votes.
For Bryceville Elementary School, Dr. Burns recommended approval of the cooler/freezer replacement bid. A board member noted Bryceville's bid was higher (the meeting exchange referenced a figure "over $300,000"). District staff—introduced by the superintendent as the district's interim, Trevor Kennedy—explained that the Bryceville work includes an increase in size and that the project will be located on a different part of campus that requires poured concrete, which raised the cost relative to the West Nassau bid. The board approved the Bryceville bid by voice vote.
All three procurements were approved by voice vote; the transcript records "Aye" responses but does not include a formal roll-call or numerical vote tally.
What happens next: The superintendent will proceed with the recommended procurements; the millage oversight committee report will be presented at the board's Dec. 12 meeting, according to Dr. Burns.
(Reporting note: dollar figures cited in the meeting exchange — KBT bid of $284,000 for West Nassau and a Bryceville bid described as "over $300,000" — are reported as discussed in the meeting transcript. The transcript contains a spelling variant for one staff name (Majene / Majeed) discussed elsewhere in the meeting.)
