Summary

Operations presented bid tabulations for canopies at Claremont (214 ft) and Blackburn (340 ft); DDI Construction was the recommended low bidder ($126,000 and $175,000 respectively) and the board approved moving forward with the projects using prior-year capital outlay funds.

Robert Hoyle presented two bid tabulations for canopy/awning projects at Claremont and Blackburn elementaries. He said Claremont's work would cover about 214 feet in front of the school to improve drop-off coverage and Blackburn's project would be about 340 feet with a radius canopy to match existing finishes.

Hoyle recommended DDI Construction as the winning bidder: Claremont at $126,000 and Blackburn at $175,000. He said the materials are aluminum with a baked-enamel finish and that he verified a lifetime warranty on the finish (excluding storm damage). Hoyle said projects would be scheduled to minimize student disruption and could be coordinated with breaks if necessary. The board approved both bid tabulations unanimously; Hoyle said capital-outlay funds from the prior year will cover the work and additional canopy funds are available for further projects.
