Board accepts Douglas Equipment bid to upgrade intermediate cafeteria serving line
Summary
Trustees accepted a Douglas Equipment bid of $80,631 to upgrade the intermediate cafeteria serving line after confirming USDA approval. The company is an out-of-state vendor; installation will be performed by district staff or contractors.
The board voted to accept a bid from Douglas Equipment to upgrade the intermediate cafeteria serving line. District staff said bids opened Dec. 11 and Douglas Equipment submitted a low bid of $80,631, roughly $32,000 less than the other responsive bid. Staff noted the district had obtained USDA approval despite only receiving two bids rather than the preferred three.
A board member asked about Douglas Equipment’s location; staff said the company is based in West Virginia and will ship modular equipment while installation will be performed locally. Staff noted the district had previously used Douglas Equipment and was satisfied with prior work.
Mary Anne made the motion, Cheyenne seconded and the board approved the recommendation by voice vote. Staff described the purchase as payable from the cafeteria fund rather than general operating funds.
