Board approves building-renewal terms and construction contracts for stair repairs and HVAC controls
Summary
The Sahuarita Unified board approved terms for a state building-renewal grant to replace exterior stairways at a high school (the transcript alternately names 'Cerritos' and 'Sweetwater'), authorized a $85,005 GMP for HVAC controls at Walden Grove, and approved related procurement actions by voice votes.
The Sahuarita Unified Governing Board approved several facilities-related items intended to maintain and improve safety and operations at district campuses.
Administration reported conceptual approval for a state building-renewal grant to replace exterior stairways at a high school identified in the packet. The transcript alternately refers to the school as "Cerritos High School" and "Sweetwater High School" in discussion; district staff recommended approval of the grant terms and conditions pending final state appropriation.
On a separate item, the board approved a $85,005 guaranteed maximum price (GMP) with Core Construction to install remote HVAC controls in an 11-room wing at Walden Grove High School. Administration said the controls will allow centralized and remote management of HVAC systems and that work is expected to be finished by the start of school.
The board also approved routine procurement language including adding the United States Treasury as a sole-source vendor for required federal payments. All items passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The actions fund repairs and upgrades administrators described as safety- and operations-related (stairway replacement, HVAC controls) and set up contracting and funding pathways for carrying out the work.
What's next: Administration will complete grant paperwork with the School Facilities Division and execute construction contracts per board authorization.
