Board awards $199,676 contract to replace building boiler after bid process
Summary
USD 443 approved a bid to replace the building boiler, awarding the contract to Tetro Plumbing for $199,676 after two bids were opened. The board noted a wider issue with a run of bad boilers installed previously.
Dodge City — The Dodge City USD 443 Board of Education approved a contract July 14 to replace the building boiler, awarding the bid to Tetro Plumbing for $199,676.
Patrick Scheck, associate superintendent of business and operations, told the board the district opened bids and recommended Tetro Plumbing’s $199,676 bid over Central Consolidated’s $244,300 bid. He said the district had identified a “bad batch of boilers” affecting multiple installations and that the replacement is not unique to this site.
A motion to accept the Tetro Plumbing bid passed 6-0. The board did not specify a completion date in the meeting record.
Why it matters: replacing the building boiler addresses equipment failure that could affect district operations and building climate control. Patrick Scheck said multiple boilers from the same production run needed replacement, indicating the district is addressing a wider equipment issue.
Next steps: the approved vendor will proceed under the district’s procurement process; the district did not announce a firm installation schedule at the meeting.
