Board approves bid package 6 for additions and renovations, awards fire‑suppression contract and authorizes HVAC controls change order

The board approved contracts arising from the district’s additions and renovations program, awarding bid package number 6 for fire suppression and related alternates to Great Lakes Fire Protection Incorporated with a total award not to exceed $511,990.

The finance and operations committee had reviewed bid package number 6 and recommended full board approval; the package included the base fire‑suppression work (not to exceed $300,985) plus alternates including locker room renovations, sectional valves, stage stand site and hydraulic equipment, which together were capped so the grant total award would not exceed $511,990 as presented to the board.

Separately, the board authorized a change order to Tri City Controls for additional temperature control work at Lapeer High School (LHS). The change order was described in committee as covering temperature controls on 32 pieces of HVAC equipment, associated interface graphics and warranty considerations; the motion authorized an additional amount not to exceed $141,318.

The motions were made on the record and supported; the transcript does not include a roll‑call vote tally. Committee materials summarized the change orders and recommended board approval. Board discussion that evening included the committee chair’s motion and brief acknowledgement before moving to other agenda items.

Both contract actions are capital expenditures tied to the district’s additions and renovations schedule; administration indicated the items came from a committee procurement process and were recommended for award based on the bids received.
