Board hears Measure J construction timeline; bids for kitchen improvements due March 5
Summary
District facilities staff said kitchen improvements (DSA-approved) are out to bid with submissions due March 5 and an award expected at the March board meeting; architects are finalizing a historic‑building mitigation matrix and a front‑classroom replacement design to address setback constraints.
Facilities staff gave a Measure J update, describing the 2025 summer construction package that focuses on kitchen improvements and an anticipated classroom replacement. The presenter said the kitchen project is DSA‑approved and out to bid, with bids due March 5 and a tentative award planned for the March board meeting. The district also received a small kitchen‑equipment grant and has already purchased a new refrigerator and freezer to be installed by the awarded contractor.
The district is finalizing a historic‑building evaluation for the main building; staff said they are preserving character‑defining features such as front‑entry symmetry and lawn. Design work on a replacement classroom (approximately 1,250 square feet with a restroom) is underway and being adjusted to meet PG&E setback requirements. Facilities staff and the superintendent described using Hamilton Aitken to assemble a five‑year facilities master plan and to support Prop 2 funding applications; King Consulting will provide demographics and five‑year enrollment projections under a separate engagement.
Trustees asked about budget contingencies and timelines; staff said the project is intended to fit existing bond funding and to proceed through typical prequalification and bid processes before coming back to the board for award.
