Board approves door and hardware replacement at Anderson school, selects Aspen Door Supply

Summary
The board approved replacement of four non‑repairable doors and hardware at Anderson, awarding the work to Aspen Door Supply using a $1,000 contingency for minor frame repair and painting.
The Southgate Community School District Board of Education voted May 13 to approve replacement of doors and hardware at Anderson school and to award the work to Aspen Door Supply for $11,540 (the $10,540 bid plus a $1,000 contingency).
District facilities staff said prior repair attempts failed and that the specified hollow metal doors, paired frames and hardware are necessary because the existing doors are no longer repairable. The scope covers two pairs of hollow metal doors on the east and west second floor (near the former spectator seating at the pool area), with new hardware, rim panics, cylinders and pull handles; existing closers will be reused.
Staff recommended saving and repainting the existing frames where possible rather than replacing them, and requested a $1,000 contingency to cover repainting, minor frame repairs and related work. Aspen Door Supply’s bid was $10,540; an alternate bid from IDN Door and Hardware was $13,451.72. Staff recommended Aspen Door Supply and asked the board to approve the purchase.
The board approved the motion (moved by Dr. Pomponio and seconded by Mr. Sage) by voice vote. No amendments or change orders were recorded in the transcript; a one‑year warranty on doors and hardware was noted.
