Board awards Lincoln Trail Elementary fencing bid to Main Street Construction
Summary
The board approved a $122,111 fencing contract for Lincoln Trail Elementary as part of a school maintenance grant project to improve perimeter security.
The Seymour Board of Education approved a fencing project for Lincoln Trail Elementary on July 21, awarding the work to Main Street Construction.
The superintendent said the work is part of a matching School Project Maintenance Grant (up to $100,000) and is intended to control access to the rear of the school, limit entry points for non-school personnel and secure areas near the transportation building.
Why it matters: The project responds to security concerns and is part of a set of facility maintenance items the district submitted for competitive grant funding.
Key details: - The recommended low bid from Main Street Construction was $122,111 for the fencing work; the superintendent noted that the bid total does not include gates, which may be added via a change order if the board approves a wider gate for maintenance access. - The specifications called for different fence materials in different locations (aluminum ornamental, galvanized chain link and black rubberized chain link) depending on site conditions.
Vote: The motion to accept the Main Street Construction bid passed on a roll call vote.
Next steps: Staff will finalize gate specifications and any change orders before construction begins.
