District awards cafeteria equipment bids for Bloittany Elementary; low bidders named
Summary
The board approved low bids for five cafeteria equipment packages for Bloittany Elementary on Oct. 21. Vendor listed as 'Vulture' won four packages; Norville won the double-stack combi oven at $38,828. Board discussed warranty and local service options.
District nutrition staff presented five bid packages for equipment at Bloittany Elementary and recommended awarding the low bids. According to the packet and the presenter, the low bidder named in the documentation—recorded as 'Vulture'—won four items, including single and double cold-holding units, two reach-in holding units, and two warmers. The double-stack combi oven (a combined steamer and oven) was the low bid from Norville at $38,828.
Board members asked about the vendor’s location and service capabilities. Nutrition staff said the vendor has a local representative in Statesboro and that equipment warranties would be in place; the district also uses regional service contractors (TRP and Whaley) for repairs and specialty work.
A motion to accept the low bids as identified in the packet was made and approved by the board. The board did not amend procurement awards at the meeting; staff will proceed with contracting and delivery arrangements under the district’s standard procedures.
