School district to buy 86 welded lockers for $62,805 via North Dakota cooperative purchase
Summary
The presenter said the district will purchase 86 welded, seamless lockers for $62,805 shipped through the North Dakota Educators Service Cooperative to save an estimated several hundred thousand dollars versus prior quotes; installation will use local contractors and fit existing pedestals.
The board considered and moved to approve a purchase of 86 welded, seamless lockers from H and B Specialized Products Inc. under a state cooperative purchase, the presenter said.
The presenter said the district used pricing available through the North Dakota Educators Service Cooperative (allowed under North Dakota Century Code) and that the selected model is welded and will fit on existing concrete pedestals, avoiding costly concrete removal. "They were able to give us the state bid for the amount of $62,805 shipped," the presenter said. The presenter added that buying the product through the cooperative and hiring local installers would save the district several hundred thousand dollars compared with earlier bundled quotes.
A motion to approve the purchase was made and seconded in the transcript; board members asked about construction timing and the presenter said installation would likely be complete by October. The transcript indicates staff will proceed with the purchase and installation planning; the document does not show a printed vote tally in the text.
