Board awards furniture bid to Foresight after review of competitive bids
Summary
The board approved awarding a furniture bid to a vendor identified in the packet as Foresight after staff said competing bids were incomplete or higher-priced.
The Ball Chatham CUSD 5 Board of Education approved the administration’s recommendation to award a district furniture bid to the vendor identified as Foresight. District staff presented three bids and recommended Foresight based on completeness and price.
Jared Kesher, a district representative, told the board that one bid submitted from California was partial and covered fewer than half the requested items and that a bid from School Specialty of Greenville, Wisconsin, was about $800 higher than the recommended vendor. Kesher said the recommended vendor has been used previously by the district.
Board members asked no substantive questions on the bid and the board approved the recommendation by motion and second. The transcript does not include the total bid price or contract length.
District staff said they would proceed to award the contract to the recommended vendor and move forward with procurement steps.
