The netting $100,000 and the deductions for the Red Rock wall $20,000 for a total contract of $1,759,555. Then we aid we have awarded
005in the amount of $14,800 to West Electric second. Any discussion on this? Yeah, I have some questions. Eric, can you explain um what's going on with each of those deductions? Yeah, the deeds um discussed with the general the press blocks and bathrooms will be eliminated from this project for additional phase. That's the amount that was carved out for um his uh specs. There was little there was 28,000, but there was $3,800 for concrete that he needed to add on to make that level in the back there. $100,000 that was he was able to negotiate with his subcontractor to lower that cost with the netting. And the third deduction is the ready walk wall would be replaced with the the wall that was in the specs that would save us additional $20,000 and that was based
006on the the general's recommendation less maintenance in the future for us and it's a it's a it's a better product for less. Okay. Thank you. the same. Is there any further discussion rem uh regarding motion five? Having concluded the discussion with a motion and a second, I ask all those in favor indicate by saying I. I. Are there any opposed? That motion carries. Uh since this is a little bit complicated today, I will ask if there are any uh comments from the board members. Um I do have some comments that I want to make just for clarification for the public. Um and this was brought up at a previous building and grounds committee meeting, but I just want to uh reiterate what this phase is going to get us because this has been a long
007arduous project. Things have changed. Um, so I just want and this this is so Eric, correct me if I'm wrong because Eric put this list out for us. Um, at the last building and grounds committee. So number one, the field will be flipped to have a more level playing surface compared to the current field and smaller retaining walls. There will be two seats of new bleachers with one set handicapped accessible. We will have a new netting system with a knee wall for safety, new fencing, a new bullpen and combined batting cage/poolpen, new dugouts, a concrete plaza around the field with concrete walk with concrete walkways and steps from LBHS parking lot into the front of the school. The grass plane surface with proper drainage and irrigation system maintenance storage area. And then Eric, I I'm
008going to add this in. I think it's correct. the you the conduit for the utilities up to five feet from the press box. Right. So, okay. Good. And also the other comment I want to make just so that the public is aware um on motion uh BO225 that motion approved the service engineering services for the baseball field reconstruction and this downgrade and the multi-fitness room project. So the multif fitness room project has been moved out of this grant project and into a project of its own. So just so the public knows we are moving forward with a multi-fitness room but at this point in time the cost will fall totally on the district except for the engineering services. Am I right there? Because they were already in there. Okay. Are there any other board comments?
009I do have one. I reluctantly voted for B325 because I but I understand in um with the other ones being changed it was necessary to do that but I definitely do not want to not accept that grant. Understood. You know I'm very concerned that the misconception is going to be out there that the board is not accepting a very generous grant from an anonymous donor. Thank you. Understood. Um I don't know if Mr. Matto wants to clarify any of that since he is on Zoom with us. But it was my understanding that um Mr. Mata just wants to make sure that all of the verbiage and wording for all of those uh motions that are presented today matches one another for clarity and cohesiveness. Is that understood? That that's correct. The the concern is just
010the uh contractual issues that we we want to review. Um, but I want to make sure that they all coincide. Do you have any other comments, Mr. Mata? Don't at this time. Thank you. Um, Dr. D, do you have any comments before we conclude? No, no comments. Okay. Thank you very much. I will now entertain any motions to adjourn. Second. We have a motion and a second. All those in favors of a German, please indicate by saying I. I. Are there any opposed? Today's special meeting has concluded at 9:21 a.m. Thank you.
