Operations committee reports HVAC bids over budget, pole‑barn reissued and $46,008 food‑service deficit
Summary
The operations committee told the board that HVAC bids for two schools came in over budget, a pole‑barn bid was rejected for a bid‑spec error and reissued, and the food service fund shows a deficit of $46,008.27; the district plans to request up to 10% additional capital reserve funds from the county and to hold bidder prices for 60 days.
The Winslow Township operations committee updated the board on capital projects and district finances on Nov. 25, 2025.
Committee members reported four projects submitted on Nov. 24: HVAC upgrades at School 5 and School 6 (both bids over budget), a pole‑barn construction contract that was not accepted after the committee found a material misstatement in the architect's bid specification (the district reissued the bid), and upgrades to the high‑school serving lines (on the meeting agenda for approval). Committee members said bidders must hold prices for 60 days.
The board discussed funding options; administration said it would contact the county to request access to capital‑reserve funds and expected to seek less than a 10% increase per project from reserves. The committee also gave an auditors update and said the food service fund had an unpaid balance of $46,008.27 for meals served (figure as of the day prior to the meeting). Auditors and administration discussed federal compliance timelines and a December filing window.
No construction contracts were awarded at the Nov. 25 meeting; the pole‑barn bid will be reissued and the serving‑line work remained on the agenda for potential approval.
