District discusses possible middle-school painting; early cost estimates range from about $50,000 to $80,000
Summary
Facilities staff flagged a sizable repainting project for a middle-school gym area and offered preliminary cost guidance: an internal budget estimate near $80,000 and a contractor quote around $50,000; staff said the work would likely require a formal bidding process.
Jeff (S4) told the board that pressure washing revealed the middle-school gym area needs repainting and that previous budget estimates existed. "I did a budget number of, like, 80,000, but he was, like, he would do it for, like, 50," Jeff said. He cautioned the board that the district would need to follow procurement rules and solicit multiple bids for a project of that size.
Jeff said the district will likely need at least three bids because of the project's dollar value and pointed out that the previously used painter has relocated. The discussion was informational; no formal authorization or funding allocation for the painting was recorded in the meeting minutes, and Jeff asked staff to pursue accurate bidding estimates before bringing a formal recommendation back to the board.
