A mechanical-project item recommends a $255,000 award to ACS System Associates, Inc. for Frank G. Lindsey and Buchanan-Verplanck elementary schools. The document identifies the amount as a correction to a March 21, 2026 agenda item. It combines a $220,000 base bid with a $35,000 allowance and says an alternate was not accepted. The total covers the combined project; the item does not divide it between the schools. [Source 3 · p. 1]
The agenda also schedules capital-project and PKF O’Connor Davies audit-report updates. Five policies are listed for second readings: booster organizations, safe mentoring, homeless children, fiscal-management goals, and reimbursement for meals, refreshments, conferences and travel.
