Ron Christenson, construction manager, was present and provided the Board with information on the electrical bids stating that voluntary alternates had been received following the bid opening and the school district attorney's recommen­dation was to reject the bids and rebid because the voluntary alternates were not a part of the base bid. Mr. Gerald Wagoner of Ridgedale Electric, Inc. was <br />present and voiced concern regarding the bidding process. Mr. Christenson, in <br />response to Mr. Wagoner's concerns, proceeded to provide explanation on the <br />bidding process followed and stated that consultation had been held with the <br />school district attorney to assure that the proper procedure was followed. <br />Prompted by concern that proper consideration be given to this issue, Lucie <br />Taylor MOVED to table the motion. <br />Dr. Mich informed the Board that if the motion is tabled, there could be no <br />further discussion of this matter until the next meeting (April 9) which could <br />affect the construction schedule. <br />Motion to table failed for lack of a second. <br />The question was called on the motion. Failed unanimously. <br />UPON MOTION by John Maresh, seconded by Kitty Crosby, the Board of Education <br />accepted the low bids, with the electrical contract exempted, for the new <br />construction as recommended by the Construction Manager. <br />Mr. Christenson explained that in section 0950 (Acoustic Tile) the bid of Archi­ <br />tectural Sales excluded scaffolding at a cost of $4,000 to $5,000; therefore, <br />with this additional cost added on to the bid of Architectural Sales the recom­ <br />mendation would be to go with Ceilings, Inc., then the low bidder. <br />UPON MOTION by Lucie Taylor, seconded by Jim Franklin, the Board of Education <br />rejected section 0950 with the low bid of Architectural Sales and in its place, <br />accepted the bid of Ceilings, Inc. <br />UPON MOTION by Kitty Crosby, seconded by John Maresh, the Board of Education <br />authorized the Facilities Committee to examine the issue of the electrical bids <br />with Ron Christenson and the school district attorney with the understanding <br />that a special meeting will be called regarding this issue in order to meet <br />construction deadlines. <br />At the conclusion of the regular agenda.
