The Franklin SSD board approved a $236,380 bid award to Mobile Fixture for delivery and installation of kitchen equipment financed in part by an FDA research grant; the motion passed unanimously by roll call.
The Franklin SSD board voted to approve a bid award of $236,380 to Mobile Fixture for delivery and installation of kitchen equipment purchased using a portion of an FDA research grant. The purchase was presented to the board as the only business item for the meeting and recommended for approval by the director.
Director of Schools Dr. Snowden recommended the award, saying the purchase would be paid from FDA grant funds and would follow the grant-related numbering system for future bid awards. "For your consideration and approval is the bid award to Mobile Fixture for delivery and installation of kitchen equipment being purchased using a portion of the FDA research grant money," the director said during the meeting.
A board member moved to approve the recommendation; the motion was seconded and the board held a roll-call vote. The board members listed during roll call—Mister Stillings, Miss Newman, Mister Blair, Miss Bell, Miss Barker and Mister Townsville—all answered "yes," and the presiding official declared the motion approved.
The board noted the recommended bid amount ($236,380) and that future grant-funded bid awards will be numbered for easier tracking in the minutes. No amendments or abstentions were recorded at the time of the vote.
The approved award authorizes staff to proceed with contracting Mobile Fixture for the specified equipment purchase and installation under the FDA grant; the board did not place additional conditions on the award during the meeting.
