Because the Benicia Unified School District received so few bids for most of its planned renovation of Liberty High School and the district office — and none within budget — trustees on Thursday opted to cast a wider net.
The school board approved a bid by Syserco Inc., of Petaluma, to install an energy management system for the building at 350 East K St. But it followed the advice of Chief Business Officer Tim Rahill in rejecting bids for four other items — toilet room alterations, re-roofing, window replacement and landscaping — as part of a long-planned sustainability upgrade.
