001e e e okay we'll go ahead and call the March 3D building and grounds committee to order we'll start with roll call Bruce Schubert Juan C FES Jennifer nural Steve magazini all right Steve do we have any public comments no public comments all right all right uh for the 2025 summer work uh we had a number of bid results to bring back to the committee um the Rollins Elementary School fire system or fire panel is um needing to be replaced we have a lot of calls and some challenges with fixing that because it's an older system so we did go out to bid um and we are looking to award that bid it's in the packet um this for this particular one if if we are able to bring this right to the full board
002because we have to order the fire panel they want to make sure they have it in um specifically for the summer so that we can Implement U install it in the summer you need consensus from us then on that any questions on that we'll just we'll bring it back to the full board for to approve this tonight tonight it's coming tonight yes yeah F okay the uh other bid we went out to bid for uh tuck pointing at EAS high school and Gates um and we have had uh six bids were received on that for the tuck pointing at those both of those locations and again that information is in your packet and we would uh move forward at the next board meeting for this okay all right any questions on that next item is
003the Waldo Middle School elevator um if you recall a few months back we we did go out to bid to replace the Waldo elevator and the numbers for that came back extremely high uh compared to where we budgeted specifically you know Waldo's a challenge because you don't know what you're going to get when you open the walls uh for the elevator so we did work with the architect and the city of Aurora and aora fire department uh about being able to upgrade the elevator instead of a full replacement and they worked with us on specifically what was needing to be done so we were able to go out for a request for proposal and uh that that information is in your packet as well so we are looking to move forward with the upgrade of
004the elevator at Waldo for this summer as well the the bid results came in at about 700,000 where this is ex you know an extreme Savings in order to upgrade it so yeah wow okay and again we wanted to make sure that we were going to do the right work so that we would get the approval from the fire department that everything was good with the with the elevator and they agree with the work that's going to be done did we do that at East High we did and we and that's been going well as well has been going good yep okay I have no objection anybody else no good no not at all next item is the 2025 Chromebook purchase so we are um continuing on our program to purchase Chromebooks for grade levels
005uh we are looking to purchase for second and 9th grade this year we do have a savings this year because last year we had switched out the iPads in grades two through five so we're going to take the fifth graders iPad that they they've only had for a year um it will collect them and just you know clean them up make sure they're set and then push those back out so we only need it for second and ninth grade for this year okay any questions on that is that still the latest and greatest uh technology tool for of the CL yeah Chromebooks they're still the yes the one of choice they are user friendly for teachers and being able to push out applications and things yeah yeah yeah okay the next item we went out
006for um a request for proposals for our copying Services throughout the district we had you know our our previous um agreement was up for Renewal so we did go out uh we got seven um responses or proposals back we had a a a team kind of review and we broke down a rubric just to to see the difference between the companies and so that information is in the packet and we're looking to move forward with uh an agreement with uh conic Manola any questions on that so they still run the copy they machine room company will have yes they'll run the copy uh the copy center I think that the biggest challenge is obviously or the the best opportunity to save money would be the number of copies so when we look at the amount
007of money that's for the rent R Al of the equipment or the leasing of the equipment but it also includes the amount of paper and and the amount of copies that we make so we will continue to monitor that and and uh but that but that number also includes them running our uh services at Hill Avenue and they seem to be on time there's no complaints with well we this is going to be a new company that we're going with because we had some challenges with the previous company so at the end of this contract we're we're ready to move on and and based on our review of all of the information the company that we've chosen we believe is going to come in and and fulfill our needs the best okay right any other
008questions on that no no the next item is the cow herd easement request we did get a request from a Community member that is looking to uh develop the land north of cow herd Middle School uh and there is if you can pull up so here is a the map of basically they purchased the land right in the center above that old building along with the house to the left there they're going to develop that into a I believe a three-story with some apartments on the the two top two floors and a lrat at the bottom and so they originally had asked the district if they would be able to cut a driveway where that red line is in order to have traffic flow out by the Light the traffic light at at uh at
009fword we did not believe that would be a good idea because we were concerned with traffic patterns with students going across the street so we had originally thought that that wouldn't be good and then they came back they did work with the city and now what they were looking to do is just put up a uh a a fence or a gate that would be used for fire emergencies only so so it would be it actually wouldn't be right on our um on our driveway it would be a little bit inward a little bit north uh and it would just be a gate and it would only be it would be locked at all times unless there was a fire situation at that building so um just bringing that to the to see if that's
010something that we would entertain and then obviously we'd have to do an easement agreement with the attorney and with that the person that's looking to develop there the district's okay with that yeah I mean I I believe that there wouldn't be a challenge for us because uh it's really a gate just along the property line and that would not be used and we were clear we weren't able to use that for traffic flow only an emergency yeah we denied the first request we didn't even bring it to the board because we didn't want that to be their main thoroughfare because it is too intrusive um but the emergency we could totally be good neighbors and allow them to have some emergency access y okay sounds good all right so I will proceed with um explaining
011that information and then I would imagine our attorneys would get involved with what that easement agreement looks like so okay the next item is the resolution for disposal of property um which includes uh just some old equipment that is no longer um usable within the district okay and then the last item is the work order summary and are we keeping up I've I've heard we're kind of running behind but as many as come in I would them out there are some that are ACC keeping up at East High okay and we do have dedicated mechanics that because it's you know it's it's a third of our whole district is the high school we have dedicated mechanics that work out of the high school so we'll continue to monitor that we can bring back information on
012specifically the high school right okay there any questions no um the only is anybody else no uh the only other item I would ask is you know we do have a 45 plus million dollar project in the works um that that be a standing item on our agenda just to get an update you know even if it's hey The Architects are still working on this or we're still looking into that y just to get an update at every meeting yeah appreciate it that's great yeah so we're kind of we've really had no update since the last meeting correct correct okay and it's not on tonight's agenda so we probably should not discuss that but just I'm requesting that that be yeah we definitely need to get a update at the next meeting on that okay
013okay all right need to go back and sharpen their pencils okay all right so other than that we are adjourned at 612 okay thanks all right
