Board backs recommendation to pursue Lascaux Construction bid for indoor athletic facility
Summary
Board packet shows the scoring committee recommended Lascaux Construction for the indoor athletic facility at a construction cost of $33,338,639 and an estimated total project cost of about $39 million; board adopted corrected scoring criteria and authorized negotiation of contracts and architectural services.
The JAL Public Schools board heard a scoring-committee recommendation to pursue a $33,338,639 construction bid from Lascaux Construction for a new indoor athletic facility and approved steps to finalize contracting and design work.
Presenter S6 told the board the committee reviewed three bids ranging from about $28 million to $36 million and “recommends going with Lascaux Construction for a maximum allowable construction cost for the indoor athletic facility at 33,338,639.” The presenter said the recommendation reflects scoring on the district’s corrected evaluation rubric and what the committee judged a realistic construction timeline (730 days).
The recommendation follows a correction to the sealed-proposal scoring methodology. Presenter S6 explained that resident-contractor and resident-veteran preference points were previously being added on top of a 100% base and produced scores in excess of 100%; the committee revised the weights so totals equal 100% and told bidders about the change.
Board members discussed financing and project scope during the packet review. The committee estimated soft costs and contingencies bring the total project estimate to about $39,000,000, including roughly $1.9 million in contingency and about $300,000 indicated for furniture and equipment. Staff said a portion of the technology and audiovisual systems are expected to be paid from EdTech funds.
After the committee presentation, the board adopted the corrected scoring criteria and voted to authorize the superintendent to negotiate construction-related contracts and architectural services on an hourly basis. Superintendent-level negotiation authority was described by Presenter S1 as needed to finalize terms and to scope design work believed to cost about $100,000 in fees.
What happens next: the board approved moving forward with contract negotiations and the recommended procurement steps. The board did not record detailed roll-call tallies in the public discussion; staff said they would return with final contract documents and more detailed cost breakdowns for approval.
