Ross Construction Group named low bidder; central office slated for alternative school renovation
Summary
The board approved awarding a construction contract to Ross Construction Group (the low bidder) with a 210-day construction timeline; the district plans to renovate the central office next school year for an alternative school program.
A staff member said the board approved the recommendation to award construction work to Ross Construction Group, which the staff member described as the lowest bidder with a strong project record.
The staff member cited the company’s work on projects around the state, including a recent Coca‑Cola project, and said Ross “have really great standards.” The staff member said Ross’s proposed timeline for the project is 210 days.
The staff member said mobilization would begin in the coming weeks and that certain moving activities would begin, saying, “so that Durk can start to get moved.” The transcript does not clarify what or who “Durk” refers to; that reference is included verbatim from the remarks and is flagged as unclear.
The staff member said the construction work will make possible renovation of the district’s central office into an alternative school program beginning next semester or in the second semester of the next school year. The staff member framed the work as part of implementing the district’s strategic plan to expand educational opportunities.
The transcript records the board’s approval but does not include a vote tally, mover/second, or contract number. The staff member said construction is expected to progress over the next several months; the district will provide further details as project scheduling and mobilization continue.
