Board authorizes up to $2.6M job‑order contract for Sunnyside High wrestling‑room addition
Summary
The board approved overriding the $1 million job‑order contracting limit to solicit a JOC for a Sunnyside High School wrestling‑room addition estimated at roughly $2.6 million to expand capacity, add observation/storage, and provide separate space for girls' practice; funding proposed from district override and capital funds.
The Sunnyside Unified School District governing board authorized administration to extend the district’s job‑order contracting (JOC) limit to $2,600,000 for a Sunnyside High School wrestling‑room renovation and addition.
Administration said the project would expand the existing wrestling room to accommodate four mats (it currently fits two), add observation and storage space, and create separate practice areas for girls and boys as the sport’s participation grows. A project representative told the board the district is in design and expects to solicit construction firms following a requests‑for‑qualifications process; the estimated timeline for construction is roughly 9–13 months depending on start date.
Funding and scope: District staff said the project would be funded with district override and district capital funds (not bond funds). The $2.6 million figure was presented as an upper estimate that could change during procurement.
Board action: Trustees moved and approved the requested JOC limit extension by roll call. Administration will proceed with solicitation under the JOC process if vendors and pricing meet district requirements.
