Rialto board approves technology purchase and several construction change orders, accepts a construction settlement

The Rialto Unified School District board on Oct. 22 approved several procurement and construction items, including a contract renewal for educational data software, multiple deductive change orders that reduced contract amounts, and a settlement to resolve a contractor dispute.

Contract and procurement actions: The board approved renewal of Illuminate Education’s data and assessments module for Oct. 23, 2025, through Dec. 31, 2028 at a not‑to‑exceed cost of $453,126.36, to be paid from the general fund.

Construction and capital‑project actions: The board accepted deductive change orders and notices of completion on multiple projects, including a reduction for Far Electric (dba Far Builders) on the Supanic Virtual Academy project (a contract reduction recorded in the minutes of roughly $42,825.60, revising the contract from about $2,492,292 to about $2,449,466) and approved a series of additional deductive change orders for Eisenhower High School classroom buildings that reduced contract totals and accepted completion notices.

Settlement: The board approved a full and final settlement with Rand Enterprises to resolve a compensation dispute on a classroom building project, authorizing payment of $45,000 to the contractor from building and capital facilities funds and accepting the project as complete.

Votes: Routine consent and action calendar items were carried by recorded board votes at the meeting; roll‑call votes were recorded as in favor by the members present for the described items.

Context and next steps: District staff will file notices of completion with the county recorder where required, and staff will proceed with contract close‑out and routine post‑completion documentation. Items with detailed accounting will be reflected in posted board documents and the contract files.
