Hires Lowe Consulting for up to $183,810 to support the district's Project Labor Agreement

Lowe Consulting Group will help the district manage labor relations under its Project Labor Agreement (PLA), coordinate the PLA's workforce development and employment programs, and monitor and report on how well it works. The limit is $183,810, made up of $167,100 for basic services and $16,710 for additional services. The official text lists basic services as $167,000, which does not match the agreement. The work runs from June 27, 2024 to June 30, 2025.

Plain-English summary written by AI from the official text. Reviewed Oct 3, 2026

Corrected Oct 3, 2026: The summary previously gave basic services as $167,000; the attached agreement shows $167,100, which matches the $183,810 total.

Discrepancy from the official text. The stated total not-to-exceed of $183,810.00 is $100 more than its two parts as printed, $167,000.00 for Basic Services and $16,710.00 for Additional Services; the attached agreement states Basic Services as $167,100.00. (Confirmed by a reviewer.)
