District discusses major Central Campus site‑improvement plan and approves interior‑painting agreement
Summary
Staff presented design work for interior painting and a larger site‑improvement package—including full‑turf baseball and softball fields, window replacements and chiller upgrades—with construction targeted for summer 2027; board approved an $8,500 interior‑painting MOU but asked for more time on the larger design package.
District staff presented two design requests with different scopes: a modest $8,500 memorandum of understanding with DA to design and manage interior painting at Central campus, and a broader site‑improvement design package that would include full‑turf softball and baseball fields, new dugouts, bleachers, press boxes, batting cages, replacement of single‑pane windows using health/life/safety funds, and a chiller replacement.
Staff said interior painting is intended to align new additions with existing color palettes and that the larger package is being scoped to be predominantly completed in summer 2027. "We'd be doing the big project over the summer of 2027 to get this work done," an administrator said, describing the window and chiller work as addressing end‑of‑life equipment.
Board members pressed for more time to review professional‑services contracts for the larger design package; one member asked why the design documents had arrived only recently and requested tabling the larger item so questions could be shared and discussed. The board subsequently voted to approve the interior‑painting memorandum of understanding while leaving broader site‑improvement decisions pending further review.
Financial and scheduling details presented included an 8.5% contract fee for the program management portion of the site‑improvement project and a tentative construction window following the 2027 sports seasons. Staff said they will explore available grants or incentives for energy‑efficient windows as part of the bidding process.
What happens next: the district will move forward with the DA interior‑painting MOU and return with additional documentation and responses to board questions before approving the larger site‑improvement program.
