II. Action Items

A.

Approval of Vendor and Contract for Painting at Magnolia Science Academy-1

P. Ontiveros, General Counsel & Director of Facilities, reported that the committee was formed in order to approve projects between Board Meetings which the Board of Directors had approved. This item was regarding the painting for inside of the buildings at MSA-1. Staff presented three (3) proposals. Four (4) proposals were received but due to it not being on the report for view and was an excess of $200,000, the fourth would not be considered. Zingo Construction, JFP and Trifecta are three (3) proposals received from the RFP process. P. Ontiveros reported that Zingo Construction have done facilities related projects at various other Magnolia schools. He reported that Trifecta included a much more comprehensive and detailed proposal and they visited the school site. He reported that JFP caused concern as there is possibly missing scope of work from their proposal. The review was in collaboration with B. Plonka, MSA-1 Principal, M. Sahin, Project Manager, and the Finance Department. Trifecta proposal comes with a five (5) year warranty. He reported that the recommendation is to approve the Trifecta contract for $129,550 and maintaining a reserve of $20,450 for a total project cost of $150,000. He reported that this would be paid by MSA-1 reserves and will not have a material negative impact on the school's reserve. Committee Members questions were addressed by staff. 

M. Muhammedov made a motion to approve (1) the selection of Trifecta as the vendor to provide painting services at the Magnolia Science Academy 1 campuses located at 18220 and 18238 Sherman Way (the “Project”), (2) the expenditure of up to One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00) on the Project, including contingency, and (3) the execution of a contract for the Project that Staff may negotiate with such vendor.
