Travis Unified trustees approve three contracts, including $10,000 change order and after-school contract
Summary
The Travis Unified Board approved three consent items: boiler work, a $10,000 change order to a blacktop contract at Cambridge's playground, and an ELO after-school services contract at Center Elementary. Individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
Travis Unified trustees voted to approve three contracts at the start of their workshop meeting: work on boilers, a $10,000 addition to an asphalt contract at Cambridge's playground and an extended-learning-opportunities (ELO) after-school contract for Center Elementary.
During board discussion, a district staff member explained that crews found areas of the Cambridge playground pavement were thinner than the inch-and-a-half specified in the contract, requiring extra compaction work. "So this is just the $10,000 on top of that," a trustee asked; staff confirmed the $1.2 million blacktop contract had previously been approved and that the additional sum would complete the repairs.
Trustees also discussed the ELO after-school program contract operated by the City of Fairfield for Center Elementary. District staff cautioned that state funding can be tight for unduplicated students (those who qualify for free and reduced-price meals, foster youth, homeless students or English learners) and said the program has so far been operating without requiring district funds to cover shortfalls. "So far, no. But it definitely gets tricky," a staff member said when asked whether district money would be needed if state funding proved insufficient.
The board called for motions and, after a motion and second on each item, the chair declared each motion passed following an "All in favor?" vote. The transcript records the motions passing but does not include a roll-call tally or individual vote names.
What happens next: Staff will proceed with implementing the approved change order and the ELO contract. The district indicated the Cambridge work may require an additional board review in August if further issues arise.
Authorities and clarifications: The transcript identifies the Cambridge site and Center Elementary as the affected schools and records the additional $10,000 request for the blacktop project; no ordinance, statute or specific procurement citation was read into the record.
