Loading...
Summary
The board approved a lease–leaseback services recommendation for the Redondo Union High School Science & Technology Building (staff said the project exceeds $23 million) and also approved multiple summer construction bids including modular toilet installations, bleacher improvements and roofing projects.
The Redondo Beach Unified School District board on April 21 approved a slate of construction and services contracts, including a lease–leaseback agreement for the Redondo Union High School Science and Technology Building and several summer project bid awards.
Staff described the Science & Technology building project as the meeting’s largest item, noting the recommended lease–leaseback partner after a competitive selection process. "This is the big one. It's over $23,000,000," a staff presenter said during discussion. The board approved the recommendation.
Other construction approvals included low-bid awards for modular toilet buildings at Madison Elementary (Dependable Construction Inc.) and Washington Elementary (Williamson Construction, decided by coin toss after a tie), bleacher improvements at Redondo Union High School (Pub Construction) and a set of roofing coating and gutter-replacement projects awarded to Letner Roofing and Adco Roofing. The board also approved consulting services contracts for DSA project inspector services with Sandy Pringle Associates for the modular toilet projects.
Board members and staff emphasized project timelines targeted for summer installation, DSA inspection oversight through closeout, and coordination with construction managers and architects. Staff said installations for the copier fleet (separate procurement action) were scheduled to begin April 27; roofing and bleacher improvements were described as summer work with expected August completion.
The approvals passed following motions and votes recorded by the board. Staff noted some items came in under budget and that procurement complied with cooperative purchasing or competitive bid processes.
The board did not discuss substantial changes to project scopes in open session; staff said further scheduling and onboarding steps will follow with project managers and selected contractors.
