L.2. Agreement between Digital-The Fruth Group and Calexico Unified School District for Maintenance Service on all Printers and Copiers District-Wide.
Speaker:
Mei L. Randle, MBA
Rationale:
Digital The Fruth Group is the independent, factory trained Canon authorized dealer in the valley that has been providing maintenance service to our fleet of Canon brand copiers and servicing our Manage Print Services fleet (printers) district-wide. Copier Maintenance Agreement: 60-Month Term at $16,000 paid on a quarterly basis. Printer Maintenance Agreement: 60-Month Term at $31,205 paid on a quarterly basis. All service is inclusive; service repairs, B&W and color replacement cartridges. Amount of Printers and Copiers has increased, yet the cost remains the same as the prior agreements.
Financial Impact:
Yearly cost - $124,820 for Managed Print Services (printers maintenance). $64,000 for Managed Copier Services (copiers maintenance). Amount of Printers and Copiers has increased, yet the cost remains the same as the prior agreements.
L.3. Contract between Calexico Unified School District and San Diego State University-Imperial Valley Campus for the Rental of Rodney Auditorium for Spring Performances & Rehearsals.
Speaker:
Brisa Huerta-Price
Rationale:
The Calexico High School Theater Company is requesting the use of Rodney auditorium and up to two classrooms for rehearsals leading up to their spring performance. Rehearsal Dates: March 3, 17, 24; April 28 Performance Dates: May 5 & 6 . We would like to use Rodney because of the fact that it is a theater space with all that we need to put on a good performance. Unfortunately, the facilities at Calexico High School aren’t as good as the ones at Rodney. We have performed at Varner before and the acoustics there were less than optimal, which didn’t allow our actors to project their voices, the lighting isn’t as good as Rodney’s lighting, and Varner doesn’t have space for actors, sets, costumes, and other things needed for the production. Rodney’s classrooms are basically connected to the auditorium, allowing for actors and actresses to have separate dressing rooms.
L.4. Memorandum of Understanding between Calexico Unified School District & Imperial County Selpa for Support Services Alternative Certification for Special Education Internship Stipends.
Speaker:
Dennis Price
Rationale:
This MOU pertains to Calexico Interns Participating in the SDSU (SPED 980) Intern Coaching Program and is a long-standing past practice. Two teacher coaches (Jessica Davila-Zaragoza and Rosario Rodelo) will be compensated $500 per intern, per semester. Each coach is working with one intern. One teacher practicum support provider (Susan Wilcox) is to receive $350 per intern, per semester. The practicum support provider is working with three interns. Signed approval of this MOU allows the SELPA to reimburse the Calexico Unified School District for this expenditure, upon invoice.
L.6. Denial of Claim: Christina Izarraraz vs Calexico Unified School District.
Speaker:
Mei L. Randle, Asst. Supt. of Business Services.
Rationale:
The District has received a claim for damages incurred during an incident that occurred on January 30, 2018 causing at least $2,235.81 in damages to the employee's personal vehicle while parked in the staff's parking lot at Mains Elementary.
L.7. Notice of Completion for Cesar Chavez Elementary ADA Improvements Project.
Speaker:
Jeremey Nielsen - Director of Facilities, M&O
Rationale:
Submitting a Notice of Completion to the County Recorder Office is a requirement with all construction projects. Before the final payment (retention) is made on a public project, the District's Governing Board should take action accepting the project as complete. A Notice of Completion is then recorded with the County Recorder's Office for the purpose of giving public notice that the final payment will be made in 30 days. Public Contract Code Section 7107 says: Within 60 days after the date of completion of the work of improvement the retention withheld by the school district shall be released. Notice of completion for the following: Cesar Chavez Elementary ADA Improvements. Contractor: A&N Quality Builders. Start Date: October 31, 2017. Completion Date: November 30, 2017. Original Contract Amount: $91,000. Final Contract Amount: $91,000.
Financial Impact:
