District presents science-room repairs, parking-lot repaving options and fiber run quote
Summary
Board heard contractor quotes to repair unexpected structural issues in the science room, discussed full and partial north parking-lot repaving options (with a full-replace estimate near $123,000) and reviewed a $7,416 Total Electric quote to run 12-strand fiber to the stadium.
Project staff updated the board on several facility projects and quoted costs at the meeting.
Science room structural work: presenters described unanticipated joist-bearing conditions that required cutting the wall and reinstalling block and other repairs. Vendors provided line-item quotes for concrete, masonry and steel work and a contractor submitted a 'not to exceed' price to address unknowns; backup documents with detailed quotes had been provided to board members. Project staff recommended a repair option that avoids an exposed interior column by inserting block and filling the wall.
North parking lot: staff presented options to pulverize and repave 4,956 square yards and an alternate scope that would replace 5,959 square yards. The full-replace option was discussed at approximately $123,000; staff cautioned that any work requiring replacement of base material could trigger a new stormwater-management plan and additional permitting.
Lighting: the board discussed re-adding six parking-lot lights removed during earlier value engineering. Total Electric provided an estimated cost to reinstate those lights; staff noted the lights would improve safety and would be placed near the new STEAM center, the elementary, and the road entrance.
Fiber run to stadium: an updated Total Electric quote of $7,416 was reported to replace an existing six-strand run with a 12-strand fiber; some board members questioned replacing functioning fiber absent a demonstrated failure.
Budget context: staff reviewed contingency and interest-earnings figures, listing planned uses from referendum and interest funds (Wi‑Fi access points, smartboards, cameras, furniture and appliances) and reported a remaining balance of roughly $588,000 after the listed allocations.
Next steps: staff will proceed with the chosen repair scopes and provide final contract documents for board approval when available; any scope that requires base replacement will trigger additional permitting and cost review.
