Construction update: main project progressing; smaller special‑ed restroom projects being scheduled

A construction update provided by Don reported steady progress on the district's bond project: siding installation, roofing, mechanical/electrical/plumbing rough-in, and installed/tested fire sprinkler lines. Don said the administration hopes to turn over the admin office after winter break and that some contingencies returned as negative change orders, improving the project's budget outlook.

Don described two smaller projects—special-education restrooms at Dana Gray and Fort Bragg Middle School—that the district hopes to add or bundle for summer construction. He said both have DSA/TSA approvals and that staff are working to secure subcontractor bids; some intended subcontractors were unavailable due to schedules. Don asked to return with tighter bid numbers at the next meeting. Trustees toured the site before the meeting and reported positive impressions. Administration will return with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and inspector-of-record clarifications in January.
