Board approves custodial contract amendment to add new Central Falls high school
Summary
Trustees approved an amendment to the district custodial contract to add staffing for the new high school. Staff said the addition would provide a lead custodian and three additional custodians for the building and would add approximately $384,000 to the current contract.
The Central Falls School District Board of Trustees voted Nov. 4 to amend its custodial services contract to include the new high school building.
District staff told trustees the amendment will add a lead custodian plus three additional custodians for the new facility (four employees assigned to that building) and will increase the district's custodial contract by approximately $384,000.
A board member asked whether other vendors bid for custodial services; staff replied the district ran a competitive process the prior year, received three bids, and selected the current vendor through that procurement. Because that procurement was recent, the district did not run a new full bid process for this amendment.
