CUSDWatch Comment:

BLUE CARD Dawn Urbanek   

Adam Watson is an individual DSA inspector that has been hired directlyby CUSD. This is not allowed as inspectors are suppose to report to the DSA not CUSD. Staff was admonished not to do this by Trustee at the March 22, 2017 CUSD BOT Meeting- yet Staff continues to offer new contracts directly to Adam Watson rather than go through A company like Knowland Construction

March 22, 2017 Board Meeting Agenda Item #4

Board Audio at 2:22:00 BLUE CARD Dawn Urbanek

Board Audio at 2:34:00 Staff Admitted that the DSA does nt allow school District s to hire in-house inspectors of Record because they view it as a conflict of interest.

Why is CUSD continuing to repeat this process if it is a Conflict of Interest?

Board Audio at 2:23:00 

at page 36  AW Industries

On the March 8, 2017 Agenda Item #3, this was a $626,4500 contract with AW Industries for Inspection services for Esencia K-8 School.

I pulled the contract because it did not have the contact information for the company.

Some research showed:

  • Adam Watson is an individual with a DSA inspector license.
  • There is a corporate filing for an AW Industries Group Inc - A construction management business. Adam Watson is listed as Secretary. The corporate address is a personal residence.
  • There is no AW Industries on the web except for the corporate filing.

DSA requires an inspector of record. 

DSA provides a field representative that reviews the Inspector of Record's files.

Most IOR's work through a Broker like Knowland Construction Services. 

CUSD did not do a formal bid process to hire AW Industries.

Agenda Item #2 contained a PO for $409,700. Both the PO and Contract were pulled and are being approved on the March 22nd Agenda.

On the March 22, 2017 Agenda Item #4 the Board is being asked to Approve a PO in the amount of $409,700.00 made out to AW Industries. This contract still has no contact information for the company, and 3 pages are missing including the signature page. 

Comparing the two contracts, it appears that the March 8, 2017 agenda has two AW contracts: 1 for $409,700.00 for Inspection Services of Esencia K-8 and 1 for inspection services for Tesoro High School for $216,750.00 that is not included in this Agenda Item.
