Resolution 22-23-07: Declaring The Futility of Public Bidding for Abatement Trade Services for Phase 1 Modernizations at Bagby Elementary School, Fammatre Elementary School, and Price Middle School
The Governing Board approved Resolution 22-23-07 and allowed Cambrian to continue working with PARC Specialty Contractors and complete the Abatement Trade Services for Phase 1 Modernizations at Bagby Elementary School, Fammatre Elementary School, and Price Middle School.
On April 21, 2022, the Board awarded PARC Specialty Contractors the Abatement Trades Contract for the HVAC Project at Bagby, Fammatre, and Price Middle School based on their low bid. Due to discovered asbestos putty around windows and the removal and replacement of sheetrock, resulted in a 27.42% increase over the original contracted amount. A resolution is required to continue with PARC Specialty Contractors. It has been concluded that their costs are reasonable and going out to rebid the project would delay the project and result in unnecessary expenses to the District.
Measure R: Environmental Services Amendment for the HVAC Projects at Bagby, Fammatre, Farnham, Price, and Sartorette
The Governing Board approved each individual service agreement with EnviroScience, Inc., to insure Fammatre, Farnham, Price, and Sartorette are free and clear of all hazardous materials.
On May 5, 2022, Cambrian entered into an agreement with EnviroScience, Inc. to ensure Bagby, Fammatre, Farnham, Price, and Sartorette, are free and clear of all hazardous materials for the HVAC unit installations. Due to unforeseen hazardous materials found, additional monitoring was required.
Attached are the amended individual service agreements with EnviroScience, Inc., for the unpredicted increase of monitoring required to ensure the five school sites were free of all hazardous materials.
The estimated increase in cost per site:
Bagby: $58,980

Price: $21,155
