Summary
Keystone Oaks board rejected all bids for the Dormont and Myrtle Avenue elementary renovation contracts and confirmed Phase 1 deliveries and playground demolition beginning June 8; administration said the rebid will include Aiken Elementary in the next package.
The Keystone Oaks School District board voted to reject all bids for the Dormont Elementary and Myrtle Avenue Elementary renovation contracts as presented and approved a rebid strategy that will combine the next package with Aiken Elementary.
Administration told the board this decision does not affect planned summer work that was already scheduled: the first phase of window deliveries will begin June 8, with tractor-trailer deliveries and installation starting at Myrtle Avenue, then Dormont and Aiken. The district also plans to demolish and replace playgrounds at Aiken and Stormont beginning June 8; officials noted weather could affect the schedule.
The board clarified that the rejected bid package covered construction phases involving HVAC and other large contracts and that the summer playground and window work, plus planned playground deliveries before the next school year, would proceed as outlined. Members said the rebid will include updated scope for Aiken Elementary and that the administration will re-advertise the packages.
No dollar totals for the rejected bids were read into the record in the transcript; the administration said windows and playgrounds remain on schedule for summer work.
