District staff presented bid results for the Lowell High School pool infill and related work and recommended awarding four categories to local and regional contractors.
Dana and the district’s project leads told trustees the recommended package includes Larson Danielson Construction (general trades, $1,538,000 including an alternate), Kleckner Interior Systems (metal studs/drywall/acoustics, $374,130 including alternate work), Gatling Plumbing & Heating (fire protection, plumbing and HVAC, about $525,000) and Continental Electric (electrical, roughly $524,400). Staff listed a project total of approximately $2,000,009.61 to be paid from Series 23 bond proceeds; they said savings and value engineering helped include the natatorium and related work within the existing budget.
Trustees asked about the bid criteria; staff said price was important but not the only factor and that pre‑bid meetings, spec compliance and prior working relationships were considered. Project staff reported field progress, including poured deep‑end concrete and excavation of the shallow end, and described a tight timeline to meet construction milestones.
The board moved and approved the award of bid packages by voice vote. No named roll‑call or individual vote tallies were recorded in the transcript; the clerk announced the motion passed.
The board placed the award on the consent agenda and approved the motion that night; staff said construction will proceed under the recommended contract awards and will be monitored for timely completion.
