Board awards wheelchair lift and large parking reconfiguration contracts
Summary
After competitive processes (and one negotiated procurement due to no bids), the board approved awarding a wheelchair lift at Pioneer Valley HS to McKinley Elevator for $77,983.47, and awarded the West Campus parking reconfiguration at Santa Maria High to Edwards Construction Group for $1,339,892.20 including alternates.
The board authorized two construction actions at district facilities. For Pioneer Valley High School Project PD‑8 (wheelchair lift, project 26‑5‑33), administration said no bids were received during the informal bid period and they negotiated with a prequalified vendor; the recommendation was to award to McKinley Elevator Corporation for $77,983.47, and the board approved the award on roll‑call vote.
For Santa Maria High School West Campus parking reconfiguration (project 24‑509), administration reported two bids were received and Edwards Construction Group Inc. was the apparent low bidder. The base bid of $1,127,392.20 plus alternate #1 (fencing, $60,000) and alternate #2 (lighting, $152,500) resulted in a total award recommendation of $1,339,892.20 to be paid from Fund 40. The board voted to approve the award.
Board members asked about bid processes, timelines and the project scope; administrators explained advertising and bid‑walk procedures, prequalification requirements and that the parking work will repave and reconfigure two lots to improve traffic flow, add spaces, and install lighting for safety and visibility.
