Board previews capital projects, energy contract and facility upgrades; approves meeting agenda
Summary
Trustees reviewed two capital projects at No. 6 School, equipment for elementary cafeterias, vendor awards for gym floor and paving, and a 36-month energy supplier contract described as saving about 2¢ per kilowatt. The board approved the evening agenda by roll call.
The Cliffside Park Board of Education reviewed several facility and vendor actions in its meeting packet and approved the evening agenda by roll call.
A board member called attention to resolutions 69 and 70 (pages 25–26) covering two capital projects at No. 6 School: a multipurpose room renovation under contract to Blackstone and a unit-ventilator replacement project with a contractor identified as K and D. The board was told both projects are progressing well.
On food-service and cafeteria equipment, the board discussed a resolution to purchase steam tables for elementary schools 3, 4 and 5; Alex Rosenberg of Pomptonian, the district’s food-service provider, was credited with helping move that project forward.
Speaker 1 described the district’s planned energy procurement: the board intends to engage Smartest Energy on a 36-month kilowatt supply contract. Speaker 1 said the supplier’s bidding and tracking mechanism should result in roughly a 2¢ per-kilowatt reduction versus prior pricing, which the speaker annualized to an estimated $25,000–$40,000 in savings over 12 months, and said billing will continue through the public utility.
The board also noted awards for a high-school gym floor (Mathisek) and high-school paving (Murray Paving) under resolutions 79 and 80.
Approval of agenda: Mister Capano moved to approve the agenda and Mister Russo seconded. The roll-call recorded that Mister Drew, Mister Strader and Mister Garcia were absent; Capano, Nedru, Doctor Pantoliano, Russo, Tarabakhia and Yanezi voted yes and the motion carried.
The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn.
