Board approves bond-funded security and fire-system upgrades totaling about $1.71 million
Summary
The board approved two bond-funded contracts: security-system upgrades for several buildings for $705,775 and fire-system replacements with full voice alert for three buildings for $1,004,324.
The Forest Grove School District Board approved two bond-funded capital contracts at the Jan. 28 meeting for security and fire-system improvements to multiple school buildings.
Business staff presented a contract award to Convergent (presenter named as Eileen) for security-system work at listed sites (including Tom Kaliste, Harvey Clark, Echo Shaw and Joseph Gale — building names as presented) totaling $705,775 and funded from bond proceeds. A board member made the motion and it was seconded; the board voted in favor.
The board then approved a contract through GB Manchester to replace fire systems (including installation of new EST systems with full voice-alert capability) at Echo Shaw, Harvey Clark and Forest Grove High School for $1,004,324, also funded with bond dollars. The board asked for any questions; a motion to approve was moved, seconded and approved.
The items were presented as part of ongoing bond-program work and identified as scheduled for the next summer construction period.
No amendments to the contracts were proposed at the meeting; trustees approved both contracts during the action-items segment.
