Board approves consent agenda, hears questions about Ramona windows delay and asbestos abatement
Summary
The board approved a largely consent agenda but pulled multiple contract items; members asked about a $21,000 increase and a 78‑day extension on the Ramona windows contract and an unforeseen asbestos abatement in Room 46, which staff attributed to a missed corner cabinet.
The board approved most consent agenda items after members pulled specific contracts for discussion. Item 22c (Ramona windows and flooring replacement) drew questions about a $21,000 contract increase and an added 78‑day extension, moving the projected completion date to Oct. 9, 2026. A board member pressed staff on why windows were not replaced immediately and on an asbestos finding after carpet removal in Room 46; district staff said the manufacturer schedule becomes firm only after a signed contract and that a corner cabinet missed in the initial Encorp assessment necessitated additional abatement.
The board voted to approve item 22c after discussion and clarification from staff about boarding windows to enable prework and staggered installation as deliveries arrive. No additional motions were made on the abatement beyond staff explanation of the missed area.
