5.1.1. Prop 39 Abbott, Bayside, District Office LED Lighting Project-Notice of Completion - Fluoresco Services Inc.
Rationale:

Pursuant to the contract awarded by the Board of Trustees on June 6, 2019, Fluoresco Services Inc. has furnished all materials and labor for the completion of the work related to Contract #19-159, Prop 39 installation of LED lighting at Abbott, Bayside, and the District Office.

5.1.2. Bayside New Gym Sound System
Rationale:

The District Facilities Team meets every Monday to discuss project status. During one of these team meetings, it was noted that only one of the new gyms was designed with a sound system; that gym was Abbott. After further discussion with the Facilities team and the district Superintendent, it was deemed that all three gyms needed to have a sound system. As such, we reached out to multiple sound system vendors and found EKC to be the best fit for the Bayside gym due to the timing of the project finish date fast approaching. 

There will be two components to the gym sound system. The first component includes items such as speakers, wiring for the sound system equipment, etc. Please refer to attached Exhibit A for further details. 

The second component, which will come later via a change order from Rodan, will be for the pathway/conduit for the sound system. This includes items such as blocking, conduit, bridging, etc. 

The district determined that all three gyms needed to stay consistent. This item is not a change order for Rodan, and does not represent an increase to the Board approved budget.  The cost for this contract is being absorbed by the construction contingency established and approved for the project.  The actual cost of this item is .5% of the overall budget.  

 
Recommended Motion:

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE SOUND SYSTEM PROPOSAL FROM EKC ENTERPRISES, INC FOR THE NEW BAYSIDE GYM.

Financial Impact:

$52,129.24 - Measure X Funding

5.1.3. New Elementary School in Foster City Commissioning
Rationale:

The cost for this contract does not represent an increase to the overall Board approved budget for the project.  This cost is being absorbed by the construction contingency established and approved for the project.  The actual cost is approximately 1/100 of a percent of the overal project.  

 
Recommended Motion:

IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES APPROVE THE COMMISSIONING PROPOSAL FROM EICHLER ASSOCIATES, INC. FOR THE NEW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN FOSTER CITY.
