Board approves $403,875 contract with Lexicon Construction for interior door replacements
Summary
The Webster Groves School District board approved Lexicon Construction’s low bid of $403,875 to replace about 97 interior doors at Avery and Bristol as part of Prop S safety upgrades.
The board approved a contract recommendation to award Lexicon Construction the phase 2 interior-door replacement package in the amount of $403,875. The project covers roughly 97 interior doors at Avery and Bristol Elementary Schools, replacing doors that have excess glass and installing new intruder lock sets and door hardware intended to increase classroom safety.
Administrators presented the package as a continuation of work previously funded through Prop S; the district advertised the bid in local papers and on its website and received two bids. The presenter said the bid amount is below the district’s budget for the project and noted Lexicon completed the phase 1 door package on time and under budget.
Motion and outcome: A board member moved to approve Lexicon Construction as the vendor for the door replacement package No. 2 in the amount of $403,875; the transcript records the motion and the chair saying, “That passes.” The record does not show individual roll-call vote tallies for this motion beyond the chair’s announcement of passage.
Why it matters: The work is part of district safety upgrades funded by Prop S and will alter building hardware and classroom-door construction to reduce the amount of glass and add intruder-locking hardware at two elementary schools.
What the transcript does not show: The transcript does not record individual board-member votes by name or a detailed construction schedule beyond the scope and funding source. The contract award was presented as within budget and funded by Prop S.
