October 14, 2019 at 8:00 PM - October Regular Meeting

Rationale:  Morrison's were hired to repair and replace leaking sprinklers on the football field.  Due to the number of leaks and issues discovered, various lines and sections needed to be replaced to get the sprinklers back into acceptable working condition.

Rationale:  Back in July, Rasmussen repair the Chiller and added a significant amount of R-22 refrigerant to the system. Further, Mr. Peterson had ordered the replacement of controls for and work on Air Handler Unit #3. This work did not occur until August. However, the work had been ordered prior to Mr. Peterson's departure. It is recommended to pay both invoices to Rasmussen's using the depreciation fund.

Rationale:  The doors that access the gym by the boy's locker room needed to be raised due to the replacement of the concrete in that area.  Glass Edge performed this modification to allow the concrete project to proceed in a timely manner.

Rationale:  This is invoice is for the replacement of the Southeast HS doors as recommended by the buildings and grounds committee.  Proposals were secured from Glass Edge, Century Lumber, and Metal Doors & Hardware with Glass Edge having the lowest proposal.

Rationale:  Due to the A/C Chiller being struck by lightning over Labor Day weekend, bids were secured for the replacement of the 20-year-old unit.  In addition, each bidder was asked to also bid the service contract for the facility's Heat/Cool systems. Representation of the buildings and ground committee met on October 9, 2019, at Noon to open the bids and hear information from bidders present in preparation for the entire board to make a decision regarding this matter on October 14th.

Rationale:  Titan Machinery, our Bobcat lease provider, quoted a new broom/brush attachment for snow removal. The quote represents municipal pricing.  Instead of over $6000 retail, the cost to the district would be $4510.60.  

Rationale:  The security camera and recorder system we have in place currently has 2 cameras that are down and not functioning. Replacing these 2 cameras is possible, but the system is an analog system that was a used/older system when installed several years ago.  Current recorders and cameras are digital. The quotes from Safe-and-Secure Security Equipment provides several options to address the situation.

Rationale:  At the end of the summer, there was an issue with the fire alarm system.  It was determined it was the "accelerator and actuator" portion of the system.  The system was temporarily modified as we waited for parts.  It has been repaired.

Rationale:  As discussed with the Buildings and grounds committee, the playground surface needs attention.  The Community Foundation has dedicated $5000 toward addressing the playground situation that we can access once we dedicate.  I have worked with Kristen Olsen to get a quote from the supplier they and the city have used.  Also, an option could be to simply use gravel to buy some time for a more thorough upgrade of the playground.  I need some direction from the board as to how to proceed but would like to get something accomplished before winter.

Rationale:  Back in July, Buildings, and Grounds discussed the possibility of replacing showerheads, etc., in the locker rooms.  There was an initial estimate from Saner Plumbing on the cost per shower head, which surprised us as to how high that way. Therefore, we asked for a more detailed proposal and contacted Lytle's of Long Pine and Ward's of Valentine.  Both Saner and Lytle came back with more formal quotes. We did not hear back from Ward's.  

This is something that needs to be done but is not a true emergency.  These quotes are being provided so you know the possible cost and can decide whether to proceed (over a break) or wait until a later date.

Rationale:  Charlene Guerrero lives in Rock County's district. She wishes for her son, Sidon Brock, to continue attending Ainsworth Middle School. In order to do so, Charlene must formally option Sidon into Ainsworth.  Rock County's Superintendent has already approved the option request.

Rationale:  The next regular meeting of the Board is scheduled for ______________, at ______ p.m. in the District Office. Current agendas will be available for public inspection in the office of the superintendent.
