Facilities committee recommends fire-alarm contract for Porter Ridge, Bridal to full board
Summary
The Union County Public Schools facilities committee voted unanimously to recommend awarding a fire alarm replacement contract to Carolina Fire Technologies and asked the full school board to consider approval; project budget is $454,000 and the recorded bid amount in the transcript was unclear.
The Union County Public Schools Facilities Committee voted 3-0 on June 25 to recommend that the full school board approve Carolina Fire Technologies for fire alarm replacements at Porter Ridge and Bridal schools.
Committee Chair (name not specified) opened the meeting and introduced the bid report; Facilities staff member McManus told the committee two contractors submitted bids and said Carolina Fire Technologies submitted the lowest responsive bid. McManus said the project budget was $454,000. McManus added, “We sure have. We’ve used them a lot. They do a a good job.”
The committee moved and seconded a recommendation to send the contract award to the full board; the committee recorded the vote as “Aye” by all three members present. The transcript shows the bid amount as spoken by staff in a garbled form ("$3.73 $48.50"); the exact dollar figure for the Carolina Fire Technologies bid is not specified in the meeting record provided.
The committee treated the item as a consent/recommendation matter; no final contract award to the vendor was made at this meeting. The Facilities Committee’s action was a recommendation to the full board, which must approve the award for the contract to be finalized.
The meeting also included routine approvals of the agenda and prior open-session minutes before the bid discussion.
