School system awards lawn-care contract to Sunshine Construction, board hears $3,600 annual savings
Summary
The board approved a contract award for district lawn care to Sunshine Construction and Contracting after competitive bids; staff said Sunshine’s bid was about $3,600 cheaper per year than the incumbent.
The Camden County Board of Education voted to award the district's lawn-care contract to Sunshine Construction and Contracting after a competitive bidding process. District staff said they received two bids — from the incumbent, R and M Lawn Care, and from Sunshine — and that Sunshine's bid was about $3,600 lower per year.
Operations staff told the board they had vetted Sunshine's capacity and found the company holds larger contracts with third parties (including the Department of Transportation) and can perform district work. The district’s legal/operations staff reviewed and negotiated contract language before the approval request.
The superintendent recommended approval; Mr. High moved to approve and Ms. O'Neil seconded. The board vote carried with no recorded opposition.
Staff did not present detailed contract length, renewal terms or total annual contract value during the meeting; those specifics were not in the packet excerpt discussed at the board table.
