Board approves resolution to replace one steam boiler at Central School
Summary
Kent City Schools approved a resolution to replace the worst of two 1997-era steam boilers at Central School, using an Ohio Schools Council cooperative purchasing contract to avoid a separate bidding process.
Kent City Schools on July 22 approved a resolution to replace one of two steam boilers at Central School, citing the existing equipment’s age and the need to maintain space used by tenants and athletics. A presenter told the board the boilers were installed in 1997; the replacement would remove the worst-performing boiler and leave the other as backup. Because the district is a member of the Ohio Schools Council (OSC) cooperative purchasing consortium, the presenter said OSC procurement eliminates the need to run a separate bidding process for this purchase. The board moved and seconded the resolution and approved it by roll-call vote. The resolution authorizes the district to proceed with contractor selection under the OSC contract; district staff will finalize procurement and schedule the work.
