Levy board approves ranked roofing awards for summer projects, staff say contracts will return for signatures
Summary
The board approved staff recommendations to rank and tentatively award roofing contracts for multiple schools this summer, instructing staff to return with contracts; staff said the overall roofing work will be a multi-million-dollar effort for Levy County schools.
District facilities staff briefed the Levy County School Board on a slate of summer reroofing projects across several schools and asked the board to approve recommended rankings for contractors so staff could finalize contracts quickly.
Staff described a mandatory pre-bid meeting that drew about 18–20 contractors and said nine bids were received for most sites. For each school, staff presented a ranked set of three recommended contractors (a first choice plus second and third alternates) and explained the plan to award number 1, 2 and 3 on each site in case the lead proposer could not finalize a contract. Facilities staff and the contracted architect (CRA Architects) supported the scope and procurement process.
A board member moved to approve the recommended top-three rankings per site so staff could complete contracts without delay; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The staff described the program as the most aggressive roofing campaign the district has undertaken in decades and said the portfolio represents "million-dollar" work for Levy County, but did not provide a consolidated dollar total at the meeting.
Board members praised staff for the extensive pre-bid work and the coordination across departments required to complete the scopes for multiple schools. Staff said they would return to the board with signed contracts for final ratification if needed.
No protest or formal bid challenges were reported during the meeting; the board’s vote authorized staff to proceed with the recommended rankings and follow the district procurement procedures to execute contracts.
