001we'll start with roll call Bruce Schubert Alex Royal Jennifer Nell are there any public comments no oh Bob elerson sorry no public comments tonight uh so if we could get into the informational items sure thank you Mr Schubert I've got quite a few informational items for you this evening so we'll kind of go through them um I'll pause as we're going through and see if there's questions there's a couple of them that will look for board action on later this evening because of either emergency or just the timing of them but starting with two a the Career and Technical Center update uh just wanted to pres pres uh provide an update to the board uh cordan Clark and FH passion have begun collaborating together to look at the completion timeline for the Career and Technical

002Center uh we took a look at that August 2026 date and work backwards to create a plan to make sure we stay on target as far as the timeline for that um we also have some updated renderings that I'm going to ask that Andy Allen go through as we're going through there um we'll kind of stop as we're going through to talk about some specific areas the first one there that's just an overview as you look from Indian Trail Road kind of a overview of an updated rendering of the outside there next is looking at it once again from Indian Trail from the front side there as well just kind of giving an overview of what it would look like from the outside I remember the board meeting I was at previously um we had

003some conversations about what the outside would look like if there would be an outside area for students to sit at and you'll see the rendering of the next one Andy one more slide please you can see we took that area kind of out there and we have some of the graphics on the outside there to update what it would look like currently we're sitting at about 75% completion as far as the renderings specifically on the outside uh next slide please once again just kind of looking at the rear side of the building there where the buses would come through next slide please interior where the atrium would be there just kind of the welcoming Center for students as they come in uh once again kind of looking at that split level there where you can

004go up and down because we know have classrooms on both floors there um so kind of giv an overview what that would look look like on the interior there next slide please uh the lunchroom multi-purpose area there for students that are there to eat lunch uh just a general hallway of kind of what it would look like there as well um and then a classroom setting kind of a larger venue if we had multiple students in there and we were going through another uh area for that as well there another classroom setting and then this slide this is where we get into um FH passion and cigan Clark have been working together to look at the bid packages and we're actually uh proposing going out in two separate bid packages where one would be the

005exterior and groundbreaking and kind of the shell of the building and that would be bid package one if you look down the third yellow line there underneath there that's all of the information for biid package one I know it's kind of small when you look on the screen uh but it is in your pack board packet there as well so you can review those dates and then the second portion would be where we really looked into getting into the nuts and bolts of the Interior there and that's all the information that's below that blue line the second blue line from the or the I'm sorry the the first blue line from the bottom there so it kind of gives just a general idea of what we'd be looking at from a timeline there as far

006as when the bids would go out um there's a couple key things when we look at it that we've got to come to some consensus on in the near future uh the first is taking a look at the um patio on the second level there when we talked about putting in a Hydroponics portion up there is and a garden up top there um we'd have to come to some consensus with that as we're looking to get the drawings and renderings updated there and then also we'd have to take a look the driveway there um because of the exit on Mitchell Road so I'm going to turn that over to Dr Nell to talk a little bit further about that okay sure so um there is a rendering that we shared with the board about two

007months ago um where we work to add that opportunity for uh green roof we talked about many of the new buildings in the city of Chicago it's required that a certain percentage of them have a green space on the roof and we thought if this is going to be really a stemlike career center that we certainly could do that again we're looking at everything all of our technology in this building being Cutting Edge and forward thinking and future thinking and so we looked at an opportunity that existed in the space there to be able to develop that also Beyond just being Green Space um really being in able to build out the possibility for Hydroponics that was one of the pathways that was discussed when the high school probably about a year and a half

008ago did their presentation on Pathways for STEM related careers um and so that would give us an a lot of opportunities with that not only for that particular pathway but also it would give us an opportunity I know one of the things I've heard our staff talk about since I got to the district was the greenhouse and constantly trying to raise money but never quite you know we have a couple of stem schools but never quite getting to have that space because of the cost in doing that in any of our existing buildings if we obviously have that like we're going to have about eight classrooms some of those will be science labs in this building um because you built in some that could be a biology lab a chemistry lab right yeah so having

009that we could have something where we could have other classes like from our Magnet School um even from next door which is our benv steam Academy have an opportunity to utilize that as kind of a District Green space for them to be able to engage in some of those things that we've never been able to provide so always looking at opportunities the thing about that that I want to get on record though is with that space being built out as it was shared with the board a couple months ago our Architects and FH passion want to make sure that the board knows it's going to run us roughly what about 500,000 right for the class and the um drainage if they have a we have a full class that goes up whether it's middle school

010kids or high school kids so we're just sharing that information so that the board has an opportunity to come back and ask questions before we get started what's the anticipated time that you the deadline for this information for the bids get got it would be soon so I know Bruce and Alex that piece before we get to the other one I could we could wait and I could actually have conversations with more board members and then you can we can all kind of weigh in on that talking about this roof for the rooftop Green Space yeah and potential to have the functionality of a greenhouse or Hydroponics is something that's of the future it's year round probably Greenhouse yeah well and they'll be able to go up there and do activities year round right yeah

011some of your Hydroponics freeze lot yeah and it's so early from a budget point of view how much are we talking difference-- wise hedonics versus Greenhouse they don't have the numbers for you right now yeah it's curious don't don't try we got time we have time and then if we have that space if the board doesn't want to do it now they'd have the potential forever to do it because I know at Firma one of the things that was an issue was just the having a we don't even have a location so if they had the Baseline of that they could expand upon that in the future if they wrote a grant for it or they had a budget later down the line once we have the capacity we could add on it later too

012right yeah I why would a why would a greenhouse versus Hydroponics weigh hopics can start toow into the greenhous depends on how you start to break the two apart you have internal some external there'll be a lot of different things I mean it you know with I don't it's all hypothetical right now yeah I mean you could I mean it could grow exponentially on how big the greenhouse is are you heating the greenhouse you know what type lighting or the plants are you putting in there so it does start to gr you could add another half million if you got into it it doesn't necessarily mean that got hot right okay I'm a former science teacher so I'm really pushing for this green green roof but I definitely want the full board to be knowledgeable

013can we go back to the first schematic um I said uh yeah uh before we go on uh I had a request from the audience anyone talking please go to the microphone because the audience that's watching online can't hear I think from here forward if any questions no that's a great idea yeah okay so yeah any here forward yeah got it thank you um which side go back Andy one more the first the yes you're looking for the aerial shot right yeah yeah that one can you zoom in on it a little bit or no the actually do you have the it's over that way so um so are we talking this whole roof structure or just no actually um I'm sorry uh Rich where's the rendition with the green space that you showed the

014board before pause come forward yep don't answer that without a microphone I don't think it's in this rendition right now so we can I can get that back to you and send it to you so you can share it with the group okay but I do know it was in the in a former one Andy do you have the previous one still on that computer no because you had a great uh visual of that yeah we did have a layout so the idea I think the original plan was more showing like planners and a walls so it' basically be a a section of the roof right over the front portion so we would basically have a ramp that comes down to that roof we'd have a platform area you would stop the students from being

015able to just walk across the roof by having walls some of those would be based off Planters and then whether they're tall Planters around the perimeter and then lower planters that would be on the ground they most likely be trays um but part of it's meeting with uh with teachers and understanding how they would use that space depending on the types of plants they put in there and and how they want to utilize that space so no that's okay if you run across it let us no but I do recall you know what is this 2016 maybe um out at the magnet academy there uh they had visions of having a greenhouse at that location I thought we had procured some property next to the parking lot on the south side of that building there

016for that but I know that never came to fruition and so we're thinking of maybe putting it here in instead I guess right is that what yeah and then um that way you know like we do with the rec center if teachers want to field trip it or if they want to do a project and utilize that space or have it as an educational option you know certainly that would just afford us because it would be in the district kind of like we did with the the TV studio just being able to have that's something that a lot of high schools have or a lot of you know school districts have so so having that at the resilience Center just allows that as an opportunity even though it's not in the actual High School so

017the greenhouse could be a site like that so that we could have it that middle schools could access it to we also talked about put it on the roof too to secure that area so that people couldn't access it just at any time so by putting it up on the roof um whether it's just a single Garden it stops kids from going into it outside of school and then with the glass you know protecting it since it's up and out of the way people couldn't go up and break the glass so that was another thought process roughly where the schematic would the roof top garden be uh you it's kind of up in the upper leftand corner it's over the existing building okay where that would go fi Frank's Nursery so where yeah uh yeah

018so where you the two story pieces here on the the right side there's a door that walks out and it would go directly on so you'd have a direct rooftop from that second floor hallway would it be I guess an exit too or that just one entrance one it would be an exit because there's no stairs going down from there it would just be an access to the Rooftop Piece One Way in one way out for the rooftop yes I mean is that legal before we get is that legal because it's under 50 people you can have one exit out is how we would look at it and there are stairs right as you come in the door from the outside there are stairs going down right and out sorry that we did not have

019that visual for you guys that would help and I know uh previous meeting I know Jud had brought up about um solar has that look been looked at at all is that just not a feasible option or it hasn't been looked at any further it is I mean there's always the options to be able to do that but I was asked to just kind of hold at the moment on that sure solar panels yeah yeah good idea maybe I'll wind two on the back what's that a windmill or two why not we have the space you know be self- sustaining just curious if that was looked at okay so that was the first question the second question uh aside from the green roof was something else that you mentioned the the road access oh Road

020access yeah I just wanted to share that actually we have on Clos session for full board property acquisition because attorney uh Bernie Wier is going to um talk to you this evening about that access road because he's been communicating with the owner of that property that is directly to the north and so more to come with that um but certainly in the on the memo they just talk about the fact that we've been um in conversations and we're looking for next steps I believe is getting some kind of appraisal for the value of that stretch is that temporary use or permanent use of that road he'll have to tell you about it yeah okay I know who to yeah I know go it's not actual use it's it's just to prevent them from it's just

021to it's not a taking it's just a uh well it's a taking in terms of uh it would prohibit anybody from building anything on that area that we need which is mostly within their setback anyway so to be an easen almost we still need to if we don't get it voluntarily we're gonna have to go to condemnation right and we'll talk about in Clos session yeah for strategy yeah so more to come tonight on that all thank you can we just briefly go through the timeline here then so you said the bidding occur over the next yeah can Andy can you go back to the timeline page please I can kind of just I'll let Josh come up too to kind of walk us through so obviously um we've kind of talked about the schedule

022we are looking to go out to bid for the site and shell is what we're looking at going out to bid for at the end of this month that would allow us to start getting things ordered that have long lead times so that would be the outside structure the steel that goes inside as well as getting the s in place and then we're looking at going out to bid for the remainder the interior buildout of the space you know enclosing the building with Windows Doors stuff like that would be part of bid package two which we're looking at doing in March and then we we kind of looked at the schedule and I'll let Josh talk about the schedule a little bit in regards to trying to hit that uh August 26 uh movein date

023so you guys will be ready for the 2627 school year yeah yeah absolutely yeah so I mean basically working backwards from that and I'm Josh keran by the way with FH passion um working backwards from that um August movein date um and it's really driven by getting the building in closed getting under roof as we go into the winter um at the end of 25 so um that was part of the the reasoning with breaking the project out into two bid releases so that as uh the Rich's team is still completing you know the interior finishes and all the final details we can get the major structural site items released and start kind of the clock ticking on those items so it's really getting those major pre-cast structural items released that carry a long lead

024time a four to six month lead time to fabricate these items so getting that out to bid here by the end of this month um kind of gives us a chance to get those materials on site and get this building enclosed prior to the winter and then working through the winter leading up to you know a Fall 2 or a summer 26 comption 26 yeah that's great oh you found it Andy you're amazing okay Rich take it away yes so obviously this is the basic layout so as I was saying on the second floor there' be a set of doors that walks out um there'd be a ramp down because the levels are slightly different uh to bring you down to that main uh roof level and then again we're looking at some type of

025uh walls to kind of keep the students in that space so they can't just walk around the roof and then looking at uh potential areas for planting to occur now working with the teachers understanding what they want in that space for Hydroponics is is really kind of the next step and questions that we have to go through um because we haven't been able to have that conversation yet but with it with the idea of moving forward with this we can make sure the structure is in place and then we can work on getting the other pieces in bid package too it's not the whole Space it's just this portion of that yeah yeah there's some potential and again if you wanted to look at it is half of this is um you know a a

026greenhouse and then the other half is outside or maybe the whole thing becomes a greenhouse there are different options that we can look at here or they can just have the structure put put in place so that they have future capacity to do that so there's actually a couple options yeah so the lower space we're going to be gutting it from what it is right now to build it out for the new facility so while it's empty we have the floors open they can uh widen or or put in uh bigger foundations add the steel dead stair get it all in place and then that way you're not re tearing apart that whole space that's being done now that's the space that's currently EA squared or the just behind it it was the state space

027so the EA squ portion is coming off because of the drive that we have to put in to connect so it's the what used to be the state agency in there got it in the corner well I certainly you know support entertaining that I mean the board can entertain that you know but like you said I don't know if it was you Dr r or whomever I'd be very interested in what the the staff you know feels would be beneficial for the students there absolutely yeah um so however we get that information I'd be interested in that you know yeah we just didn't want to move to those conversations from this level to having them with staff until we just shared with you that there would be a cost because of the necessary reinforcement and

028I wanted to make sure that this committee was knowing that we were going to go forward and have those conversations because they'll be quite excited but I just didn't want to do that outside of here so we'll go forward with that and kind of collect that information Alex and I'll also PLL Miss Johnson too just to see to let her know the she's a numbers person so I'll make sure she knows the different options and the value and if nothing else maybe just to do the structural part so it's a possibility in the future right okay okay is up to us but it's the merging is a requirement that the city would want to see accomplished now the like the BSA would that still hold its name oh absolutely this is just the yeah just

029like right here we're in the bwell community what's called for this whole parcel but we are still EAS School District so the bwell community consists of EAS School District it consists of the Bardwell residences it consist of even the VNA part that's coming but it's all those different entities it's just the name on the books of the entire parcel that makes sense that's what would be the it would be on the plat yes we would file a new plat uh with the county that would identify this identify this land so it would not prohibit us from naming any IND putting whatever names we want on the individual building yeah okay yeah because my concern was we need to be sens we need to be sensitive to like the BSA or oh absolutely re Ro or

030you know some of those that are named yes and they'll be known by those names memory or honor of oh yeah absolutely yes so okay they they'll keep their individual names yeah I have no objections no objections okay well it's going down tonight for U for Action so if get questions you can toss it to me or perhaps attorney W be you better he'll be at the table tonight all right thanks thank you the next informational item is the roofing Replacements at Dietrich and Johnson um on December 17 2024 bid results were received uh we received five bids for those and the lowest uh responsible bidder was melor ruffing at roughly $536,000 and that incorporates both of the roofing Replacements um at both both of those locations and this these were amounts that were built

031into our Five-Year Plan and we were looking at our fiveyear buildings and grounds plan there as well so this would just be informational tonight uh to bring it to the B&G committee and then the timeline for decision would be that January 27th 2025 board meeting all right no objections okay thank you next we have the window replacements at Dietrich in East High um when we look at this this went out to bid on December 20th 2024 and we received three bids um we're recommending at this time that we don't go with the lowest bidder because in our opinion at this time with our past experiences it's not the lowest responsible bidder um and that's because we've had some issues with the contractor in a recent project um so what we're recommending at this time is

032to go with light construction who came in with a bid of $149,700 which is roughly $100,000 higher than the lowest bidder but once again that lowest bidder is a um local a company that we've used for a recent project and we've had concerns with not only the timeline but also some of the additional costs that they've incurred as they've gone through that project which Mr hon what was that which one you want to use uh light construction is who we're recommending using construction Inc was the lowest bidder um but once again um when we met as a b& team we didn't deem them to be the lowest responsible bidder because of some of the issues we've had with that project at Waldo oh okay there further questions about that one at all Mr Royal or

033Mr SCH and that is down for Action tonight to reject those bids and we'll be back then to award that one right or is it written no I'm sorry back in this is the one to go on uh January 27th perfect the other the right rejection is the other one that's coming up for the oh got it got it got it okay so this will come to the next board meeting very good just giving you a status thanks thank you yep no problem uh the next one this is the one Dak Nell just previewed there um when we look at the Waldo elevator replacement um those bids came in we only had two biders um there's not a ton of contractors out there who were doing elevators in the state of Illinois and those bids

034came in substantially higher than we thought they would for a full uh rebuild of that um so I'm going to talk a little bit about that but also turn it to Dr Nell because we're recommending at this time to reject those bids and look at the potential for a modernization which would come in probably um a quarter to a third of the cost is what we looked at with these initial bids here yeah and just for the record I'd like to ask um Richard Blair our architect to come to the podium to share the modernization because something like elevator safety for me is is really for all of us is really really important so I want the board to understand how the modernization will be equally um as a safer a safe opportunity for Waldo

035so could you just share the sure yeah so the big thing with the elevator replacement is they have to go in and cut things open to pull things in and out so they do have to start opening up the building and it adds a lot of cost to it especially in an older building like Waldo modernization process they basically are going to keep some of the basic pieces in place so the steel structure that was in place for the existing elevator would remain those pieces tend to last for a long time the Piston the same way what they do is they go in there and they replace all the electronics they re basically tear down the cab and rebuild the cab so it's basically the structure is staying in place and they replace the doors

036and the finishes and all that as well so really you're getting a brand new elevator minus a couple of the structural pieces that have longevity in them and don't cause or don't have any real threat to falling part so the cost savings is dramatic because you don't have to tear the building apart to get the new elevator in you're able to go in there and basically remove the worn pieces and replace them with new and then again it goes back to what Bob was saying where you're going to save costs and you're going to pay about a third uh of the cost of these bids you've also done this at the high school um a couple years ago and you have had no issues that I'm aware of at this point and it's worked out

037just fine I to say Waldo had an elevator where is it in it's many I never saw an elevator there yeah it's on the south side of the building closer to the east of the on the the hallway that runs uh east west on the south side of the building it's on that hallway next to the bathrooms just outside the homech area is that part of the original construction no it was added it was added back in the 90s okay I don't remember seeing one okay any other questions and the reason we didn't go that route initially was what we thought the these bids would be much lower than they came in as or we thought they would come in a little lower we thought they would be lower so they did come in a

038lot higher than expected a lot of it comes back to the age of the building and the complexity of trying to get into the existing opening in that building um and then as we started to dig into it and talk with these elevator contractors as they were giving us responses they were kind of even suggesting this direction as well so part of it was due to the height of the elevator we thought it might be better to go with it newer one uh but we all recommendations are pointing towards modernization it will save the district a lot of money I know I don't know if it was the elevator at the high school remember we had a lot of delays with that and you know um is that still kind of the environment out there

039or is it elevators have delays what I will say is that the new elevators are harder than the modernization so when you go out for modernization it is the elevator contractor that's bidding on that and they're the ones that have to provide it and give you the schedule with this type of method you have a general contractor bidding on it and they're going out for multiple numbers with multiple people working under them and the elevator contractor can do whatever they want so if you remember on this building and the wreck both those elevators came in very late why because the GC had no control over it so with the modernization you can hold the person that got the numbers liable for what what they provided Point yeah didn't think about that interesting okay okay and

040that's going for Action tonight all right okay thank you the the next uh informational item here is the replacement of Select rooftop units on certain buildings throughout the district um the district has replaced uh and added HVAC equipment to its buildings over the last six years um in some instances when this PL replacement was planned we knew that there was seven to 15 years left on the rooftop units um and now we're six years out from that so some of those units are starting to age out a little bit and requiring a lot of support and a lot of um a lot of calls to get people to come out and take a look at those one such example of that was um at Allen earlier this year if you remember we had an a

041rooftop unit that went down and it took us about six weeks to get it back up and running we had to rent a external unit to cool the building at that point in time um so what we're taking a look at is there's approximately 30 units over the next five years or so um that may need some of support right now what we have is there's five units specifically um that we're bringing up to to the buildings and grounds committee to take a look at those are at Simmons Allen Dietrich Hermes and Johnson um and they've got ages of those units from8 to 19 years and in talking a little bit with Mr magazini the reason we're looking at those units specifically is there's large portions of the building that those units cool because they're

042larger units that are on the roof and those are start beginning to require some Service as well um so this would be more of a taking a look in the future here to see exactly what we need to do but at the current state there's five units we're recommending taking a look at because they are beginning to create some issues as far as Cooling and these are rooftop units specifically and uh covered by train or just before the train came in so these units actually this would be working with train it's a turnkey operation working with train um and it's a little bit simpler like than when we had to go in and a bait and take uh take out certain walls Etc it's just a rooftop unit it would be working with them through

043a co-op so everything would be handled directly with train for units there for the replacement repairs are these are covering the warranty from the these ones aren't because of the timeline because they're 18 to 19 years old so these are not covered under Warr warranty um these are some of the rooftop units specifically that we work with train to come out it would be a turnkey operation where they where they would handle everything for these five units specifically thank you sir so at Simmons last summer what we had done some work there correct and we rented a a unit there portable outside unit unit so what is this in addition to that all right so with the mechanical projects that we've been doing throughout the district there were a handful of um units that still

044had life in them so Simmons wasn't completely replaced Simmons was uh well most of them were like 90% replaced so if we go to say Allen Allen was done about four years ago the design process of which units we were going to do started seven to eight years ago on what units we were going to replace so what we didn't do is if a unit still had life in it we didn't want to rip it off get rid of it put a new one on and lose seven to eight years of life out of a unit so what we were doing is leaving units that still had life in them on the buildings with the idea that you would get uh more more Revenue out of that before you replaced them so some of the

045units like on Allen which was done about four or five years ago now I we're starting to get into the cycle now some of those are starting to have issues Allen might have been done three years ago sorry um some of those units are starting to get to the end of their life and before they run out completely we're trying to replace those at this time so yeah it's just you know we were just at Simmons last summer you know doing work Mo mobilizing Cruise you know disruption you know all that and now we're coming back to do this you know I'm just curious why that wasn't included in last year's work um I so the like I said some of these units are and I maybe Austin could speak a little bit more to

046the units specifically themselves but a lot of it was uh picked based off the life that was still left in the units when we were going to do the Mechanical Services I think some of them have started to have some issues earlier than expected and that's probably why it was left in place and why it wasn't replaced earlier and and then Mr Schubert I can add some because this is actually my agenda item the these particular uh units the five of them Hermes Simmons Allen and Johnson in Dietrich were built into our fiveyear plan where we asked The Architects to prioritize the needs and so on that um document and which I don't think we prepare to pull up tonight but you can reference it um we kind of detailed those units because we knew

047when we were finishing the bigger projects each of those project specs we asked them to go back through with Steve and actually look at like when we're doing the total HVAC project at Simmons for example what are the units the number that we're doing and the ones that are left behind same thing when we did Johnson and same thing when we did Dietrich Dietrich was actually the first project that we did in the 1920 school year um they were in our first uh group of schools and so of those what we can do is we can provide this committee with that information from The Five-Year Plan again which basically details you guys detailed a cost at the bottom of that so that you knew exactly that was built in and there was more backup documentation

048so we can bring you back yeah the F the documentation that we use for the fiveyear plan which will be helpful yeah okay thanks for the thanks response next item we're gonna move along here you know what's impressive here yes is the replacement of a hundred of these rooftop units and what time period are we talking that that was been completed in six years years 19 six years so over 100 units so and you touched total agac 19 schools yeah and you did that in that short of a time span so that's that's unheard of it's unheard of without a referendum and the board did it without raising taxes so Kudos can't say that enough kudos to the district for executing that along with everyone else involved so okay Dr okay I think I'm doing

049the next one Waldo Jim FL I know I talked to you Mr Schubert and I talked to the board president um about this um because we had to give approval a couple weeks ago for the timeline but I will tell you that um the um company that is doing the Waldo gym floor um did determine after initially working with the Architects to say they could do it for one priz determine that there was a subfloor there were issues with the subfloor and so because of that they had to let us know that they were going to need an additional 92 probably 92,000 to be able to finish the floor on time which is of critical importance because we allowed them to do this project during the school year and so the time that we built

050in working with Waldo was going to be a plan to be able to have the students there do their health unit so they were in the classroom instead of using the gym because as you know gym is a a requirement PE is a requirement every day so in order to keep the project on track we have the vote tonight for the full board for the full it's up to $95,000 additionally for the floor because of the condition of the subfloor we can't just simply move forward with the plan as the board initially approved so um we did work with the Architects and that was our up to amount and it is going for Action tonight so so can someone narrate this yes yes I think um uh Rich do you want to narrate it that

051that's basically showing the subfloor isn't exist which is in a very bad condition yeah so just to kind of update you on what happened when they went in to actually start removing the floor they took out a small section area and at first it looked okay then once they started demoing everything the substructure so these black boards that are going across that's kind of your subframe and then your your floor floats across the top of that uh it was Loosely put in there before whenever it was last installed so as they started to tear up the old floor those things all started falling apart and they had to they have to basically go in and replace those so what we're these pictures are doing is just showing you the condition of what was underneath the

052original gym floor um and it needs to be replaced again it's a 100y old building I don't know when this floor was put in uh they did cut up an area we did have some assumptions but the existing conditions were worse than everybody planned and and unfortunately they need to go in there and add the additional uh sleepers in place all right I know not good yeah what are you gonna do okay all right okay thank you the uh next information item is the Skyward time time clock integration um this summer we'll be moving to Skyward for our financial management platform and with that we need to integrate a Time Clock system that integrates seamlessly with Skyward Dr angle's been a part of those calls a little bit with Skyward so I'm going to turn

053it over to him to speak on that a little sure so the current time clock system that we have through times Clock Plus will not integrate with um with Skyward so this is the solution um this is a three-year proposal this takes care of all of our b& staff and all of our PDM staff and this is at every single location with multiple locations for clocking in and clocking out so this will be on an action item not for tonight but for the following board meeting interesting no objections thank you the next informational item is copy Services request for proposal um this came from Andy Allen executive director of Information Services when you look at it uh regarding our outgoing request for proposal for copers in the fall of 2020 we went out for a

0545-year contract with image Tech uh that is coming up so we're at a point where we need to go back out for an RFP um to get updated quotes on what we need to do as far as our copy Services there so once again this is just informational um as far as the timeline of this this would be in the future the next one is the the sale of a personal property school bus um once again this is a bus that was used for our Building Trades um and it's a bus that's now become outdated and a little bit dilapidated it was at the high school um it was getting vandalized occasionally so now it's being set at the um Hill um and through the process gladus and glattus has worked together to get some

055bids on that um and it's looking like initially it was right around $1,000 doll but um she's worked a little bit there to get it up a little glattus do you have any updates on that that you want to provide sure thank you I didn't do it Al Nick worked as magic excellent yeah so we do have a bus that was used for our trades program um um and it's been non-mobile I think now for two years because our teacher that had the CDL is no longer with the district the new person that came in didn't have one so it's kind of been inmobile over at the high school and with us doing pavement we kind of had to move it it was vandalized so we were like what can we get for this right

056we're not utilizing it um so we did get a quote from adelman's Truck and Equipment at $1,000 that's their job they come and buy old school buses um but Nick also suggested um to see what the local scrapyard would give us so we did that and they're going to give us about between $17 and $1,800 based on the weight so they have to cut everything out and then kind of weigh the material um so that's kind of what we're looking at doing is going with City Auto recers I would have bought it so I would have bought it P friendly B okay sounds good hey I've seen people do neat things with with school buses so cartri family St absolutely are we looking for a replacement for that or is this just getting rid not
