Board approves $42,000 retaining wall for building-trades house; funded from capital outlay
Summary
The board authorized a $42,000 retaining-wall project at the old district office site to finish a building-trades house, including a $3,000 contingency; purchase orders will be issued to Building Solutions and other vendors.
The USD 443 Board approved a $42,000 retaining-wall project to finish a building-trades house at the old district office site.
Business services (speaker 10) explained the work (installation of retaining blocks, stairway, concrete paving), noted Building Solutions was the only bidder of three invited companies, and said blocks and delivery will be purchased separately. Because full project scope was not known, staff included a roughly $3,000 contingency. The board directed staff to issue purchase orders to Building Solutions and necessary vendors, subject to board counsel review.
Board members asked about the project timeline and whether the district expected to recover costs when the houses are sold; staff said internal finish work should complete this summer but utility connections (water, sewer, electric) remain outstanding.
A motion to approve the retaining-wall project and associated purchase authority was made and passed by voice vote; the cost will be charged to the capital outlay budget.
