Board approves facilities purchases including new forklift, geotech survey and elevator service contract
Summary
The board approved eight property and supplies items: a building rental fee schedule, facilities van purchase, a geotechnical survey for NAI renovations, a forklift purchase funded by bus sales, fee waiver groups, boiler service contract, elevator service contract and a fleet tracking subscription.
The North Allegheny School Board on June 11 approved eight property and supplies items, including equipment purchases, a geotechnical survey and multi-year service contracts.
Highlights: Mr. McClure described the purchases and contracts before the vote. He said the district is purchasing a new forklift to replace a 1995 model; the new forklift costs $39,852 and the expense is covered by proceeds from selling old buses. The geotechnical survey is for North Allegheny Intermediate (NAI) renovations and will assess pyritic soil and borings to determine remediation needs. The board also approved a $17,550 service contract for boiler maintenance covering about 17 structures and a three-year elevator service contract. Members approved a fleet-tracking subscription to monitor 19 district maintenance vehicles, noting its value for insurance and incident verification.
Why it matters: The purchases are intended to support ongoing maintenance and planned renovations, and the geotechnical survey is a preliminary step in addressing documented soil conditions at NAI.
Vote: The property and supplies package was opened for vote and passed unanimously.
