Board awards $1.198 million contract for Lewis Elementary kitchen renovation
Summary
The Solon Board of Education voted Dec. 8 to award Millstone Management Group a $1,198,000 contract to renovate and add a kitchen and cafeteria space at Lewis Elementary. Funds were encumbered last year; construction is expected to proceed once contract execution is complete.
The Solon Board of Education voted on Dec. 8 to award a contract to Millstone Management Group for the Lewis Elementary Kitchen Renovation and Addition Project in the amount of $1,198,000.
During the superintendent's report, the presenter explained the project was approved previously and that funds were encumbered last year, but equipment lead times and regulatory approvals delayed completion into the current fiscal year. The renovation will allow Lewis Elementary to prepare its own meals rather than receive shipped food, and will expand cafeteria space and install a full-featured kitchen.
The motion to award the contract was moved by Missus Abramowitz and seconded by Mister Patton; the board approved the motion by roll call. The board asked for and received clarification that this is the district’s primary major project for the upcoming school year and that the funds come from amounts encumbered in the prior year.
Next steps: the facilities department will execute the contract with the successful bidder and provide construction updates to the board. The board noted that lead times for equipment and approvals were the reason the project extended into the current cycle.
Ending note: The contract award authorizes procurement to proceed; the district will report progress to the board as construction advances.
