5.1. BUSINESS/FINANCE
5.1.1. Baywood Elementary School - Emergency Repairs Classrooms 23 and 24 - Eternal Construction, Inc.
Rationale:

On Monday night, October 23, we received a call from the Baywood custodian that there was a water pipe that had burst from behind the wall of Classroom 23.  By the time it was discovered by the custodian, it had been several hours and two classrooms, Rooms 23 and 24, had been flooded with approximately 2" of water.  Currently, the classrooms are not usable and the students have been relocated elsewhere on the campus. 

Because this was an emergency we solicited only one bid from a contractor who could perform the work immediately and in the most expedient way.  The repairs are two-fold:  one is the plumbing work; and the other is the repair of the wall and wall finishes in the two classrooms, and the other rooms with minor water damage. 

The plumbing repair will require re-routing of a new line since the existing line that burst was imbedded in the concrete foundation.  The wall and wall finish work will require removal and repair of all sheet rock to prevent mold from proliferating, and painting.  The flooring is also damaged and will be replaced with linoleum flooring.  

Eternal Construction, Inc. provided a bid of $89,243.50.



 
Recommended Motion:

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE CONTRACT WITH ETERNAL CONSTRUCTION, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $89,243.50, FOR THE EMERGENCY REPAIR WORK IN ROOMS 23 AND 24 AT BAYWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. 

Financial Impact:

$89,243.50 - Restricted Routine Maintenance

(Note: The District will file a claim with the San Mateo County Schools Insurance Group for reimbursement of District costs.)

5.1.2. Listing of payments to meet District expenditures
Rationale:

Board Policy 3314 states the following: It shall be the practice of the administration to present the Board of Trustees with copies of all warrant registers for information and review at each regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees. As Policies 3100 (budget) and 3110 (transfer of funds) provide criteria for Board authorization of all expenditures, both personnel and non-personnel items, prior to the actual payment of the obligation, warrants will be distributed to the vendors and employees after audit by the County Superintendent of Schools.

Education Code Sections 42631-36 requires the Board of Trustees approve all expenditures made by the District.


 
Recommended Motion:
