Attached is a recommendation from our architectural firm, Robert Ehmet Hayes & Associates, regarding the one proposal received for the Sharp Middle School Tennis Court addition.  

After review of our architect's recommendation, I recommend that the project be awarded to OHeil Site Solutions subject to the following conditions:  Recommend acceptance of the base bid, while rejecting Alternates #1-4.  This recommendation is including the fact that OHeil Site Solutions base bid will be reduced via change order for a revised contract price of $585,000.00 based on the attached cost savings documentation and Schedule of Values presented by OHeil Site Solutions.

Efforts were made to recruit fully and highly qualified teachers for Pendleton County Schools.  However, when a fully certified teacher cannot be located for a position, leeway from the EPSB and the KDE has been granted to school districts to hire teachers under an emergency certificate.

Employees are aware they must seek educational courses before being fully certified or before any opportunities for future employment may be granted.  Employees may obtain certification through other means, prior to September 15th.  If this occurs, we will not utilize the emergency certification route.

I would recommend approval of the emergency certification requests as presented.

Order #25-10625 - Motion Passed:  A motion to adjourn passed with a motion by Mrs. Laura Schack and a second by Mrs. Amber Beebe.
