The packet text does not provide contract values, proposed contractors, testing firms, or other terms for these items, so the scope of the committee's requested action is not further specified.
Project and Board Updates
The discussion portion of the agenda includes a Waukee CSD Board of Education Proceedings Update and a Waukee CSD Public Improvement Projects Update. The packet does not provide additional details about the subjects or projects expected to be covered in those updates.
No quotations or bids are listed for consideration; that agenda category is marked N/A.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The committee's action agenda is concentrated on active capital work, with more than $2.45 million in pay applications scheduled for consideration alongside six project change orders. Several projects appear in both categories, including the Waukee Middle School renovations, Waukee South Middle School pavement replacement, Landing at Kettlestone Plat 2, and Walnut Hills Elementary parking lot renovations.
The agenda identifies September 10, 2026 as the next meeting date but also specifically includes a discussion about rescheduling that September meeting.
