Board certifies facilities master plan, rejects playground bids to rebid after scope issues
Summary
Trustees certified the comprehensive facilities master plan and authorized rebidding of playground improvements at three special‑education sites after the apparent low bidder withdrew and other bids exceeded budget; staff will reissue bid notices and return with revised results in July.
Facilities staff presented the annual comprehensive facilities master plan required for participation in the state School Facility Program and described two funding streams: a routine restricted maintenance set‑aside (3% of unrestricted general fund) and a deferred maintenance fund for larger system replacements. Staff reported projected restricted funds of about $2.5 million and deferred maintenance funds of about $6.5 million and estimated roughly $5 million in routine replacements over five years; trustees certified the plan.
On a related facilities procurement item, staff reported four bids for playground improvements at three special‑education sites; the apparent low bidder asked to withdraw citing scope omissions and the remaining bids were significantly over budget. The board voted to reject all bids and authorize rebidding; staff estimated advertising costs around $1,500 and will return with new bid results at the July meeting.
