Summary

Officials reported portable classroom foundations are installed but shipment and installation have been delayed by availability of air-conditioning units; staff estimate a three- to four-week delay and said contract pricing has not increased.

The board received an update that foundations for portable classrooms have been installed but that the vendor cannot ship finished units until HVAC units arrive. Staff said the contractor must install air-conditioning equipment before shipment and that the start of the school year is unlikely for the new units; they expect roughly a three- to four-week delay.

Board members asked whether delays would change contract cost; staff said they were not aware of any increase and that a contract price remains in effect. Members noted the delay creates operational headaches for the schools but said they had no immediate budgetary remedy at this meeting.
