4.3. Track/Football Field Replacement
More Information:
Carlson West Povondra is coming out December 16 to review several items before plans will be finalized. There are some electrical and technology wiring questions, along with some review of dimensions and space between track and fences, etc. The meeting is scheduled for 10:00 a.m., but it can be moved to lunch time if that helps members of the building committee. I will have someone else run my Kiwanis meeting. At our August meeting, we approved Carlson West Povondra to finalize plans. Jon will not have any updated numbers for us, so that is why we are wanting to put it out to bid. We discussed having a motion to do this. I have always felt that moving forward meant we would put it out to bid so we could see actual costs and not just projected costs. If we want a motion to put the project out to bid, I suggest we do it at this meeting. I base that on knowing that Jon will not have updated numbers for us, as predicted numbers have not changed. Our Board policy states that either the Superintendent or Board may solicit bids. I feel we need to do this as we have the right to accept or reject bids. If a motion is wanted by the Board to put it out to bid, I do not want to wait until the 16th as we will need to have a special meeting and pay for advertising for that one item. We have discussed this many times and I think we know where each Board member stands on the project, so I feel we should get some numbers from contractors. If a Board member wants to make a motion, the possible motion would just be to approve Carlson West Povondra to solicit bids for the track/football field remodeling project. Otherwise, I am just going to have Jon continue with the process.
