Board tables $25‑26‑001 sports‑field construction bid; asks for full scope presentation June 23
Summary
Trustees voted to table award of the combined Don Julian and Edgewood sports‑field construction bid (25‑26‑001) and requested a presentation from the district and project architect on June 23 detailing final scope, schedule and DSA approvals before any award action.
The Bassett Unified Board tabled action on the district’s sports‑field construction bid (bid 25‑26‑001) at its June 9 meeting and requested a full presentation by the district and the architect/project manager at the June 23 board meeting.
Background provided in the meeting: Edgewood and Don Julian projects were combined to increase competition after an earlier single‑site Edgewood bid returned a high price; Don Julian’s timeline was delayed while DSA approvals were secured because adjustments were required for bleachers and solar panels. Staff said bundling the two sites produced more competitive responses; the current procurement includes an allowance (up to $2 million) and staff indicated change orders will be subject to reporting and internal controls.
Nut graf: Several trustees asked for clarity on final scope, field dimensions (Don Julian’s field will be smaller than Edgewood’s due to solar panels), schedule expectations and why the project was not started earlier; the board’s motion to table passed so trustees can review a presentation and ask final questions before awarding multi‑million dollar contracts.
Ending: Staff said the project aims for completion by late 2027 if mobilization proceeds; the district will present the architect’s final scope, schedule and cost controls at the June 23 meeting before the board considers an award.
