Board hears $4 million ballpark estimate to upgrade elementary electrical service
Summary
An electrical engineer provided a free ballpark estimate of about $4 million to upgrade the elementary school's electrical service; the figure excludes added outlets and air-conditioning and was described as a planning-level number, not a formal quote.
Board members were briefed on a planning-level estimate to upgrade the elementary school’s electrical service after an electrical engineer visited the site free of charge and provided a rough figure.
The staff member told the board the engineer gave a ballpark estimate of about $4 million to update the electrical system; that figure does not include additional outlets or the cost of adding air conditioning, and was explicitly described as a rough planning estimate rather than a formal bid. The board was told the estimate gives the district an idea of what to plan for if it pursues the project.
Board members asked whether staff should begin a multi-year plan; staff suggested starting a plan now and phasing work over coming years. No formal procurement or contract award was recorded in the transcript; the board discussed next steps and asked staff to draft a game plan for future meetings.
