• Request for Bids-BMS Paving

This Change Order #07, in the amount of $9,292.00, for Redlee Construction & Development, Inc., is to relocate four steel beams and set new bearing plates. It also accounts for extra material and labor required to install the operable partitions at the four cited locations.

On August 25, 2021, after the schedule progress meeting, a meeting was held regarding the above ceiling. It was discovered that the ductwork and data cable tray as designed could not pass over the beam that supports the movable partitions at the four locations in the lower level area D classroom wing. In order for the ductwork and data cable tray to pass above the classroom ceiling grid as designed, the steel beams that support the four movable partitions must be raised to a higher elevation. 

The current contract amount is $12,678,305.88. With the addition of $9,292.00 for this Change Order, that brings the contract amount to $12,687,597.88, with $1,363,148.99 left in construction contingency.

With the increased use of Apple iOS and Mac devices in the district, presented is an agreement for using management software. Both teachers and students use these devices but we have no way to use them on the secure network or track them if the device is lost or stolen like with Windows or Chrome devices. Jamf can proactively manage the entire lifecycle of Apple devices. This includes deploying ad maintaining software, responding to security threats, distributing settings, and analyzing inventory data. Approval is requested to purchase this software to allow the district more security and control over the nearly 3,000 Apple devices at a cost of $16,510.50. This is a one year license. Provided is the quote which includes a $500 onboarding fee that will provide educational services to our team.
