DeSoto County school board approves Lewisburg Primary bus-lane repaving and multiple bid awards
Summary
Board voted unanimously to accept the lowest bids for a Lewisburg Primary bus-lane repaving contract and several district supply and service contracts, and approved routine reimbursements tied to transportation purchases.
The DeSoto County School District Board of Education voted unanimously to award multiple contracts on motions made and seconded during the board meeting.
District staff recommended awarding the Lewisburg Primary School bus-lane repaving project to Barnes and Brower after three bids were opened in April. Board member Esterman recommended approval of “the lowest and best bid on Barnes and Brower” and the board approved the recommendation by voice vote.
Separately, the board approved a recommendation to accept the lowest bid for district paper supplies from American Paper and Twine and to accept the lowest bid for district solid-waste collection and disposal from Waste Connections of Tennessee. In each case board members moved, a second was recorded, and the motions passed by voice vote with no opposition.
The board also approved a request to reimburse an employee in the transportation department for district business paid on a personal credit card; the district packet included a digital receipt and the board approved the reimbursement on motion.
All of the awards and the reimbursement were approved under separate agenda items after staff recommendations and standard motions. No dissenting votes were recorded on these items during the meeting.
The board’s approvals complete the local procurement steps required for the listed projects and vendor relationships; contract documents and implementation timelines were not detailed on the record and will follow standard contracting procedures.
