Allstate Fence wins $28,758 bid to install bollards across district
Summary
The board awarded a $28,758 bid to Allstate Fence to install 35 bollards at district buildings; the work will be grant-funded and is scheduled for completion in June.
The Solanco School District board on April 28 awarded a low bid of $28,758 to Allstate Fence to install 35 bollards at district buildings. Mrs. Tucker presented the bid results and said nine bids were received, with Allstate Fence submitting the lowest.
Mrs. Tucker said the work will be funded through a district grant and that the contractor indicated they can complete the installations in June, weather permitting. Board members asked why bids varied widely; staff said the successful bidder regularly travels regionally and sometimes underbids to secure work.
Board members approved awarding the contract to Allstate Fence by voice vote.
Why it matters: bollard installations are a security and infrastructure improvement at district facilities; the low bid and grant funding reduce immediate local capital outlays.
The contract award directs staff to proceed with grant-funded procurement and scheduling for installation in June.
