Board committee approves moving forward with PFAS treatment proposal at Robinson Elementary
Summary
A committee voted to forward a proposal from Spermon Water Technology Inc. for a PFAS treatment system at Robinson Elementary, estimated at $16,700; staff also said a well pump replacement proposal (~$5,000) is being gathered for next week's agenda.
The Twin Valley School District's facilities/finance discussion included approval to forward a proposal for a PFAS treatment system at Robinson Elementary and notification that a related well pump replacement will be placed on the next agenda if competitive bids are returned.
The committee considered a proposal from Spermon Water Technology Inc. for a treatment system to address PFAS contamination at Robinson Elementary at a cost of $16,700, which staff said includes an increase tied to an oversized-response charge. A motion to approve the proposal and move it forward was made and seconded during the meeting; staff indicated the item would be placed on next week's agenda for action.
Separately, staff said they are also obtaining bids to replace the school well pump (estimated around $5,000 for one proposal received) and, if additional proposals arrive in time, will place that pump-replacement item on next week's agenda rather than routing it through committee.
Committee members asked staff to include the well-pump information on next week's agenda if the additional bid is received. Staff confirmed the pump must be lowered and that board action will be sought in short order.
No specific vote tallies for the forwarding motion were provided in the transcript beyond the committee's routine approval to move the item to the full board agenda; staff said details and supporting documents were included in the award packet distributed to committee members.
