Board told 3j Consulting will facilitate small-schools outreach; district sets aside $60,000
Summary
Pat McGuff presented a signed time-and-materials contract with 3j Consulting to facilitate the small-schools task force. The contract is not-to-exceed $49,008.50; the district placed $60,000 in planning services from contingency to cover possible scope changes.
Pat McGuff, the district's chief operating officer, described the 3j Consulting contract to facilitate the small-schools task force public engagement. The contract is a time-and-materials agreement not to exceed $49,008.50; the district said it will place $60,000 in the planning services account from contingency or the ending fund balance to accommodate possible scope adjustments. Staff said the cost was not anticipated in the 2024'5 budget and that the expense would be eligible for reimbursement if a future capital bond is adopted and passes.
Board members asked clarifying questions about the contract structure and selection process; staff said 3j was recommended by the long-range planning committee because of its experience in public participation. "This is what they do," McGuff said of the consultant firm; the memo and contract were distributed to the board and made available on the district website. The presentation was informational and did not require immediate board action beyond confirming funding placement within the planning services account.
