Sweetwater County SD#2 approves custodial contract, green-lights HVAC and lighting solicitations
Summary
The school board awarded a $95,100 custodial supplies contract to Real Clean Janitorial, authorized RFPs for a Jackson Elementary boiler burner and Washington Elementary HVAC upgrades, and approved direct solicitation for high-school gym lighting replacement. The packages are part of routine facilities upkeep and safety work.
The Sweetwater County School District #2 board on Feb. 10 approved several facilities and procurement actions, including awarding a custodial supplies contract and authorizing multiple solicitations for equipment and building systems.
At the meeting, district staff recommended and the board approved a contract with Real Clean Janitorial of Evanston to supply custodial materials and related services for $95,100. Missus Covey, who presented the RFP results, said Real Clean was the lowest bidder, is Wyoming-based, and provides equipment servicing and training; she said an inventory and audit will be conducted in spring and the contract is expected to begin July 1. The motion to approve was moved by Tom and seconded by Michelle and carried on voice vote.
The board also authorized staff to issue a request for proposals to replace the boiler burner at Jackson Elementary. Superintendent Dr. Cooper said the work requires an RFP and the board approved moving forward.
Separately, trustees approved going out for an RFP to upgrade the outdated, largely analog HVAC system at Washington Elementary to digital controls.
On a safety item, Dr. Cooper asked the board to authorize direct solicitation for replacement of the auxiliary gym lighting at Green River High School. He told trustees the current cages that protect gym lights frequently fall when hit by balls, creating a hazard; because the project is estimated in the low tens of thousands and falls below the $50,000 threshold, staff recommended direct solicitation per state facilities guidance. The board approved that authorization.
These actions follow routine facilities committee review, staff said, and are intended to address safety, end-of-life building systems, and operational continuity. No dollar amounts beyond the custodial supplies contract were specified for the RFP authorizations.
