Board approves $3.19M intercom contract, roof and fire‑alarm change order; accepts May finance reports
Summary
Trustees accepted May financial reports, approved a $3,185,295 intercom contract for 16 sites, awarded a $122,888 roof replacement and approved a $1.83M change order adding fire‑alarm scope; votes on these actions were unanimous at the meeting.
The San Angelo ISD board on June 15 approved several bond and capital actions and accepted routine financial reports presented by the finance and audit committee.
The board accepted the district’s May revenue and expenditures and the combined statement for the fiscal year; trustees were told revenues were running at roughly 75.5% and expenditures at 73.4% for the ninth month of the budget cycle. The board also received the monthly investment report showing total invested funds of approximately $467,954,327.59 and quarterly earnings. A motion to accept the financial reports and the quarterly investment report passed unanimously.
Capital contracts and change orders: On bond projects, the board approved three vendor actions:
• Intercom systems (RFQ26‑00008): Administration recommended and the board approved a contract with Sultzer Technologies for replacement of intercom systems at 16 sites, including alternates, for a total contract amount of $3,185,295 (this figure includes a $100,000 contingency and a $50,000 performance bond). Miss Doyle explained the systems are more than 20 years old, the replacement will standardize hardware and integrate with access control and signage for emergency messaging.
• Lake View High School science wing roof (M26‑00001): Administration recommended awarding Mammoth Services LLC a contract of $122,888 to replace the science wing roof with a 60‑mil fully adhered TPO system backed by a 20‑year GAF warranty. Trustees discussed bid disparities and the vendor’s prior work for the district; the motion passed unanimously.
• Fire alarm change order (E3 Integral Solutions): Dr. Brandon presented change order No. 1 to add fire‑alarm installation and panel replacement at seven campuses (including removal of older Federal Pacific panels) at a not‑to‑exceed cost of $1,830,000. Administration said E3 oversaw solicitation of bids for that scope; the board approved the change order.
Why it matters: The intercom and fire‑alarm work are safety and security priorities funded through bond dollars; standardizing systems should enable district‑wide emergency messaging and integrated access control. Trustees emphasized the projects remain within bond limits and that change orders are permitted under Texas Government Code §271.060 so long as aggregate change orders remain within allowable percentages of the contract amount.
Board votes and procurement notes: Each vote on the above contracts and change order was recorded as passing unanimously at the meeting. Trustees asked staff to continue monitoring timelines (staff said permitting and GMP processes remain underway for related construction) and to coordinate mobilization and early summer work where feasible.
The board's finance chair reiterated that detailed check registers and investment schedules are published online in the district’s financial transparency tab for taxpayer review.
