Pleasanton School Board To Vote On Up To $395K In AVHS Fire Repairs

PLEASANTON, CA — The Pleasanton Unified School District Board will vote Thursday to approve up to $395,000 in emergency repairs to the Amador Valley High School small gym, which was damaged in a fire March 17. The funds will be drawn from the district’s Routine Restricted Maintenance account, and be reimbursed through property liability insurance.

A staff report said that emergency work is needed for fire and water damage to the gym roof, walls, flooring, doors, and electricity “in order to avoid danger to health and damage to property.” The work will “stabilize the damage” and “reopen the non-damaged areas,” as well as additional assessment and planning work to determine further repairs.

The damage is being classified as an emergency, which means that the normal public bidding process is not necessary.

The two-alarm fire broke out the night of Sunday, March 17, and was extinguished in about 30 minutes. School was scheduled the following day, even though much of the campus was without power for most of the morning.

The vote will take place Thursday at 5 p.m. It can be viewed at the District Office Boardroom at 5758 West Las Positas Boulevard, or live streamed at trivalleytv.org.
