10.1Approval of Agreement for Rental and Purchase of Mobile Air Conditioning UnitsAction
Item details
Rationale: At the August 28, 2024, Board of Education (BOE) meeting, staff provided an update on the Facilities Master Plan and initiated discussions on improving classroom environmental conditions, including the potential installation of air conditioning at school campuses. At the September 11, 2024, BOE meeting, staff presented various options, timelines, and implementation processes for upgrading HVAC systems across school sites. At the November 6, 2024, BOE meeting, the Board approved HVAC upgrade design services for the following schools scheduled for 2025: Adelante Selby, Hoover School, Roosevelt School, and Taft School. Additionally, staff outlined temporary cooling measures, such as mobile air conditioning units, to be used until the permanent HVAC upgrades are completed. To address immediate cooling needs, staff has secured pricing from Spot Cooler using a piggyback procurement method through Omnia Partners contract #159051. After conducting a cost analysis, staff recommends a hybrid approach—renting units for the first group of schools and purchasing units for the remaining schools. This strategy ensures the most fiscally responsible and efficient solution. Financial Impact: Unit Rental Estimate: $205,000 Unit Purchase Estimate: $610,000 10% contingency: $ 81,500 Total: $896,500 paid out of Measure S Funds Submission for Approval Prepared by: Nick Olsen, Bond Program Manager, VPCS; Martin Cervantes, Interim Bond Director; Rick Edson, Chief Business Official Approved by: John R.

This agenda item is scheduled in accordance with Section 35145. The Eide Bailly LLP firm audited the district's financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2024. The audit is conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. These standards require that the audit is planned and performed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation and internal controls. District staff reviews findings and recommendations, and corrective action responses are provided in the audit report. In addition, the prior year's findings and recommendations section of the audit report reflects the status of previously identified corrective actions. The 2023-24 Financial Audit Report prepared by the District’s independent auditor, Eide Bailly LLP, is attached. The auditor will present the findings and answer questions at the February 5, 2025 board meeting. Financial Impact: The cost of the annual audit for the year ending June 30, 2024 was $74,347.
