Board hears request for new marching-band rain jackets; packet lists consortium vendor and per‑unit pricing
Summary
Staff presented a proposal to replace roughly 330 aging marching-band rain jackets for the district’s two high-school bands; vendor Francis Enterprises (Stanbury regional rep) and mock-ups were shown. Trustees asked about shipping and inventory and confirmed the quantities shown in the packet.
District staff presented a procurement request for new rain jackets for Farmington and North Farmington marching bands, which serve roughly 200 participating students in grades 8–12 across the two programs.
A staff presenter said the current jackets are about 20 years old and due to wear and tear. The district packet lists Francis Enterprises (regional representative for Stanbury) under consortium pricing with mock-ups and specifications. Packet figures showed 180 jackets for Farmington and 150 jackets for North Farmington (total 330), with per-unit prices that differ slightly between the two schools because of order quantities and sizing inventory. The packet did not include shipping costs; trustees asked staff to check whether the vendor is local and to estimate shipping for the order.
Trustees supported moving forward with replacement jackets while asking practical follow-ups: confirm final quantities and sizing inventories, clarify any additional art or setup fees, and determine what will be done with the old jackets. Trustee Heinrich noted the packet explained one school’s invoice included an art fee and the other did not; staff clarified that the art fee was a single line-item covering both schools. Trustee Hall and others said they were supportive of the purchase and requested staff provide exact shipping and delivery timelines before final procurement.
Ending: Staff said they will confirm vendor locality, finalize shipping costs and timeline, and return procurement paperwork as required under district procedure.
