Discussion:
Executive Summary:
Following the February 2018 board meeting, I was directed to contact Paulsen Inc., specifically Mr. Tim Dean and propose the boards request of; accepting the banding of the floor & floor logo, but also would like to Paulsen's to re-finish the bathroom floors with the same floor covering as in the locker rooms. The board believes this should be at Paulsen's expense. I contacted Mr. Dean and shared the boards request, Mr. Dean's written response can be found in my board report, but in summary Mr. Dean stated Paulsen would supervise the work, but the expense would be to the District. He was not changing his (Paulsen's) original offer. My recommendation would be for the board to accept Paulsen's offer for the banding of the floor and the etching of the school mascot. I do personally feel the restrooms would look great with the new floor covering, but at this point I feel there are other areas in the district that would benefit from the dollars that would be spent on the floor. |
