Summary
Facilities staff recommended buying a $28,615 RTV (net ~$27,001 after trade-in) for grounds and replacing two weight-training units and two treadmills for the high-school fitness center at about $20,002, funded by the long-range facilities plan and based on state contract pricing.
Facilities staff presented two recommended purchases for next-week board approval. The first is a new RTV for the grounds department to replace an older Cushman vehicle; the listed price is $28,615 with a trade-in allowance of $1,500, producing a net cost of $27,001.01 funded from the long-range facilities plan and purchased at PA state contract pricing.
The second item seeks replacement of two weight-training units and two treadmills in the high-school fitness center, with a total price of approximately $20,002.09 including delivery, installation and removal of old equipment; the recommendation is to purchase from Webster Fitness Products using PA CoStars pricing. Staff explained the current equipment dates to the 2012 high-school renovation and is due for replacement.
Board members asked for background on the old equipment's original costs and trade-in valuation; staff said they did not have the original purchase price readily available but confirmed the age and condition supported replacement. These purchase recommendations will be up for formal approval at the next regular board meeting.
