Board approves Yolo kitchen modernization, River City tennis courts, school painting and other facilities actions
Summary
Trustees approved a set of facilities contracts and change orders: PBK architects for a Yolo High kitchen modernization ($114,248), JB Bostic for River City tennis courts ($935,426), GSP Painting for Riverbank K–8 exterior work ($142,000), and ratified an accelerated construction change order for an elementary modernization project (amounts for the change order were described but the transcript contains garbled figures). The board also approved a summer‑camp enrichment contract ($85,000) and agreed to seek 50% city cost‑sharing for the tennis courts per a joint‑use agreement.
The board approved multiple facilities and construction items intended to address deferred maintenance needs, improve school kitchens and athletic facilities, and keep modernization schedules on track.
Key contract approvals:
- PBK Architects: The board authorized PBK to provide architectural, engineering and DSA submission services for the Yolo High School kitchen modernization; staff reported a PBK fee of $114,248 to be paid through a kitchen infrastructure grant and the board approved the authorization.
- River City tennis courts: Facilities staff recommended JB Bostic Company as the lowest responsible bidder to resurface River City High School tennis courts, including subgrade work, striping and new nets; staff reported a contract amount of $935,426 to be funded through the district’s deferred maintenance fund. Facilities said the district will bill the city for 50% of the cost after project completion because the courts are joint‑use.
- Riverbank K–8 exterior painting: The board approved GSP Painting for exterior preparation and repainting at Riverbank K–8 for $142,000 from deferred maintenance funds.
- Elorn/Alcorn modernization: Trustees approved a change order to accelerate work so multiple campus buildings (except the kitchen) open for school start. Staff said the accelerated work will be funded from the project contingency and will include allowances for subcontractor overtime and additional labor; several numeric amounts cited in the discussion were garbled in the transcript and require verification with the facilities office (see note below).
- ELOP summer enrichment: The board approved an $85,000 agreement with California Adventure Camps to provide a Ninja Warrior obstacle course for the district’s Expanded Learning Opportunity Program summer camps; trustees discussed better using any open community times that vendors make available.
Why it matters: The approvals address urgent infrastructure and health/safety needs (kitchen and field safety), keep modernization schedules on track to avoid school‑year disruption, and allocate one‑time and bond funds to capital projects.
Audit note on amounts: Several figures reported in the meeting transcript for the XL change order and related contract totals were transcribed with errors (for example, sequences like "357,6869" and "55,648,5469"). The board approved the project authorizations and change orders as presented; facilities staff told trustees any unused allowances will return to the program budget and that the contingency will cover accelerated costs. For public reporting, the facilities office should be asked to confirm the exact change‑order and final contract totals before publishing fiscal totals.
