Board reviews capital plan: electrical bid shortfall, front door LCHIP request and Wensberg Room upgrades
Summary
Trustees reviewed the 2026 capital plan including electrical upgrades that returned only one bid, a proposal to pursue LCHIP for front door replacement, air-exchange engineering, and upgrades to the Wensberg Room and its entrance.
During the March 16 meeting the board discussed capital priorities for 2026. The Director summarized proposed projects: electrical upgrades (DPW put the work out to bid in January with only one bid returned), front door replacement as a candidate for an LCHIP grant, planning for an air exchange system with graduated engineering, furniture purchases, and upgrades to the Wensberg Room and its entrance.
Board members noted grant opportunities and bid constraints and recorded these items for follow-up. No formal contract awards were made; the board described the electrical upgrades as out to bid and noted only a single bid had been received, indicating further procurement steps or rebidding may be needed.
