Connellsville board to place Dunbar renovation contract and Springfield firewall upgrade on agenda
Summary
At its March meeting the Connellsville Area School District board heard requests to put a professional services contract for a potential Dunbar Township Elementary School renovation and a $14,583 firewall-panel upgrade at Springfield Township CMP Elementary on the next agenda; both items were placed on the agenda with no objections.
The Connellsville Area School District Board heard two buildings-and-grounds requests Tuesday to be placed on the next meeting agenda: a professional services contract for planning a potential renovation at Dunbar Township Elementary School, and a $14,583 upgrade to a GameWell Flex 600 fire alarm panel at Springfield Township CMP Elementary School.
The requests matter because the professional services contract would authorize architectural, engineering and construction-management work needed to scope a renovation project; the firewall-panel request is a planned safety/IT equipment upgrade for an elementary building. Both items were presented by the buildings-and-grounds committee and, according to the meeting record, were “placed on the agenda” after no board members raised questions or objections.
At the meeting, Mr. Detlock, buildings-and-grounds committee member, asked the board to place the Dunbar renovation professional-services contract on the agenda and said it would be “subject to a pending final review, approval, and revision by the district solicitor.” He said the contract would be issued in accordance with the district’s request-for-proposals process and the proposals received from firms. Later, a separate request to approve an attached proposal from Wilkins Company Inc. to “upgrade the GameWell Flex 600 firewall panel” at Springfield Township CMP Elementary was read by committee staff; the proposal amount was listed at $14,583 and noted as pricing under the CoStar contract.
Board members recorded no questions or objections during the committee reports, and the chair instructed that both items be placed on the agenda for the board’s next meeting. The transcript does not record a formal roll-call vote on either item at this session.
If the board later approves the professional-services contract, district staff will return with contract language and solicitor revisions before final execution, per the committee presentation.
