Board approves transportation yard and roofing contracts, citing safety and maintenance needs
Summary
Directors presented replacement of an aging bus lift, concrete/asphalt repairs and a leaking storage‑building roof; trustees approved contracts with Pioneer Construction and Silicon Valley Pave using restricted maintenance funds and confirmed contractors are unionized.
District facilities and transportation directors told the board they are replacing an aging bus lift, repairing concrete and asphalt at the transportation yard, and replacing a leaking roof on a storage building that stores tools and equipment.
The presentation showed demolition and concrete‑pad work already completed to receive a computerized bus lift that will adjust to bus size and can be relocated if needed. Directors said the equipment is decades old, the new lift will arrive within weeks and installation will take three to five days.
Trustees asked about contractor union status and the scope of in‑person services for two high schools. Staff confirmed the Pioneer Construction contractor is a union company and that services for paving and site work would be performed in person at Valo High and Jesse Bethel. The board approved the Pioneer Construction contract and a paving contract with Silicon Valley Pave; both actions were taken by roll call (motions recorded as passing four yes, one absent).
District staff said the work is funded from the restricted maintenance account, which is designated for preserving and maintaining facilities — not for personnel costs. The projects are intended to improve vehicle maintenance safety and prevent equipment loss from water intrusion.
