Board awards Trace Crossing Elementary serving-line bid to Singer Equipment Co. for $144,865
Summary
The board approved awarding the Trace Crossing Elementary cafeteria serving-line bid to Singer Equipment Company for $144,865, including a $50,000 contingency; staff said the project came in under budget.
The Hoover City Schools Board on March 11 approved a bid award for a cafeteria serving line at Trace Crossing Elementary to Singer Equipment Company for $144,865.
A staff member recommended awarding the bid to "the lowest responsible bidder, Singer Equipment Company, for $144,865," noting the recommended contract includes a $50,000 contingency allowance. During discussion staff said the overall project came in well under budget and provided brief construction details; board members asked clarifying questions about bid line items and contingencies.
A board member moved and a second was recorded; the board voted in favor and the motion carried. No roll-call vote tally was included in the transcript.
Other bid-related discussion at the meeting referenced a separate construction project where bid pricing and the inclusion/removal of lockers affected the total contract price; staff explained that removing lockers reduced the bid from roughly $1.1 million to a lower figure, but the board did not change the Trace Crossing award based on that separate discussion.
District staff will proceed with contract execution and project scheduling with Singer Equipment Company under standard procurement procedures.
