Board approves Measure Q solar amendment, facilities master plan and multiple contracts; consent items pass unanimously
Summary
The Calexico Unified board approved the consent agenda and a series of action items including an amendment to a Climate Tech solar installation agreement for Title 24 compliance, a lease for modular restrooms/classrooms, Sanders Inc. for a facilities master plan and multiple policy and resolution items; most votes were unanimous.
The Calexico Unified Board of Trustees approved a slate of consent and action items in the public meeting. Key outcomes:
- Consent agenda (items 1–21): approved en bloc by motion and unanimous voice vote.
- Item 22: Approved Amendment No. 1 to the design-and-install agreement with Climate Tech LLC to add renewable energy measures and required solar storage at Calexico High School. Staff said the scope is required under California Title 24 building code and will be included in the Measure Q modernization scope. Motion passed unanimously.
- Item 23: Renewed a lease agreement with Global Modular Inc. for modular restroom and classroom facilities to support Measure Q construction. Motion passed unanimously.
- Item 28: Awarded the facilities master plan contract to Sanders Incorporated (local firm) after reviewing three proposals; Sanders was chosen in part for a faster timeline tied to Prop 22 requirements for state reimbursement applications. Motion passed unanimously.
- Item 29–39: The board approved PE-waiver requests, multiple vendor agreements (Kid Grit, Blue Dot Education, Academic Cognitive Connection), resolutions for procurement and surplus dispositions, and required CalPERS stipends reporting resolutions. Staff stated there was no new cost for CalPERS reporting items and described project-specific justifications for equipment or change orders.
- Robotics travel (separate action): Approved travel for 25 Calexico High School robotics students to two San Diego competitions in March 2026 after staff described budget reductions that allowed the trip to proceed; motion passed unanimously.
How the votes were conducted: Most motions included a maker and a seconder on the record and passed by unanimous voice vote (recorded as 5–0). In several items staff provided short explanations before trustees moved and seconded approval.
Documentation and next steps: Staff said Measure Q oversight had been informed on the solar amendment and that project partners would proceed with procurement and construction steps; several items noted future reporting and implementation steps as required by state programs or contract terms.
