Board approves low bid for roofing under Measure A; lead found in fascia, abatement planned
Summary
The board approved awarding the roofing contract (Measure A) to the lowest bidder, Rua and Son Mechanical, Inc., at $73,804. Staff reported no asbestos but elevated lead in fascia requiring licensed abatement and possible change orders; trustees approved proceeding with the low bidder.
As part of Measure A bond implementation, staff summarized progress on cafeteria and roofing projects and presented bid results. The district received multiple roofing bids against an engineer estimate of $90,000; project staff reported the low responsive bid of $73,804 from Rua and Son Mechanical, Inc., noting the company performs its own sheet‑metal work and that reference checks returned positive feedback. The board voted to contract with the low bidder.
Staff also reported building surveys found no asbestos but did show elevated lead in painted fascia in some perimeter areas. Because lead abatement requires licensed removal, staff said they will obtain estimates and that the work will likely be handled as a change order for the roofing contractor; trustees asked questions about the price variance among bids and heard the contractor's in‑house sheet‑metal work explained as a likely explanation for the lower price.
