Red Oak ISD approves $71,145.76 purchase of cafeteria equipment from Cooks Direct
Summary
The board approved a $71,145.76 purchase for refrigerators and heated pass-through cabinets at multiple campuses, awarding the contract to Cooks Direct under VIBE board contract 683-22; the capital expenditure was approved by the TDA.
Vicky Orbera requested board approval to replace end-of-life cafeteria equipment, and the board approved the purchase 7-0.
"This purchase is for 2 pass through heated cabinets and 1 reach in refrigerator at Red Oak Middle School, 1 pass through refrigerator at Red Oak Elementary, and 1 reach in refrigerator at RPS to replace old and nonworking equipment that have reached their end of life," Orbera said.
Orbera told the board that quotes were solicited from multiple vendors — including Pasco, Atex, Asmart, Cooks Direct, Jeans, Supreme Fixture, Kirby and T Rex — and that Cooks Direct offered the lowest price; she said warranty information and price were considered. The board approved a motion to buy the equipment from Cooks Direct for $71,145.76 using VIBE board contract 683-22. The capital expenditure request was approved by the TDA, Orbera said.
Motion details recorded in the meeting: the motion to approve the purchase was made by Board member Knight, seconded by Board member Sebring, and passed by unanimous voice vote, "Motion passes 7 0." The district did not provide a line-by-line warranty comparison in the board discussion recorded in the transcript.
Less critical details: the board handled the purchase as part of its consent/regular agenda and did not pull the item for extended discussion.
