Board approves fence contract to enclose school grounds, citing safety
Summary
Trustees accepted a higher-cost fence bid after weighing safety, longevity, and city variance; staff will reconcile a discrepancy between the bid paperwork and the motion amount.
The board voted to accept Clearwater Fence's proposal to add perimeter fencing and controlled gates around school grounds, citing student safety and a desire to reduce reliance on paraprofessionals for supervision.
Staff (S3) introduced the item and asked Ty (S5) to present bids. S5 described two bids: Canvas Fence at $15,788 (with standard concrete-set posts) and Clearwater Fence at $21,902 (using driven posts to keep fences closer to sidewalks and reduce conflicts with sprinkler lines). S5 said the city had indicated no objection to tying into an existing 50‑year corner fence and that the plan would funnel traffic to main office doors. After trustees discussed longevity and contractor availability, Committee member (S6) moved to accept Clearwater Fence's bid; the motion passed. The board also asked staff to reconcile a discrepancy between the quote paperwork (which lists $21,902) and the motion language, which recorded a different figure in the meeting.
