Agreement with Kilowatt Engineering Inc.
Mrs. Heather Igarta informed the Board that the decision to have Kilowatt Engineering amend our energy plan for additional Prop. 39 funds was made upon their approval. All funding to them would come from current Prop 39 funds and not out of the general budget. She also informed the Board that their price was higher than other bids but their plan was much more detailed in accordance with our school grounds and needs. They also visited our school and followed up with a phone call the next day asking if we had questions. We felt they were easily the most organized and thorough company who bid the project.
