Haverford board approves $4.29M in disbursements and multiple facility contracts
Summary
The board approved $4,293,455.82 in disbursements and several facility-related motions on June 26, including owner’s‑representative change orders of $74,453.26, an audit contract for $29,500, acceptance of a $33,000 wrestling-mat donation (installation cost $13,000), a propane contract award, and a lease amendment for township fueling.
The Haverford Township School District board approved disbursements of $4,293,455.82 and authorized several facility and procurement actions during its June 26 meeting.
The board approved change orders recommended by the owner’s representative (CB Development Services Inc.) totaling $74,453.26; CB Development’s onsite representative described the items as typical unforeseen conditions during renovation work and said contingency and allowance funds remain. “These are all typical items, things that have come up,” the representative said.
The board also approved a one‑year audit services contract with Barbara Kane Thornton & Company LLP for $29,500. It accepted a donation of a wrestling mat valued at $33,000 from Miller Sports Construction and noted the district will incur roughly $13,000 to install the mat.
Separately, the board approved a contract with Lisonbee of Wallingford for LPG commodity and delivery services for the 2025–26 school year. The motion language as read in the meeting lists a 'not to exceed' price in the motion text that appears as ‘$1.1.20 per gallon’ in the transcript; staff said the recommended vendor was the lowest of three respondents and that they would confirm the propane grade and pricing details. (Transcript formatting of the price was unclear; the district should be consulted for the precise contract figure.)
The board also approved a temporary lease amendment for the Hilltop Road maintenance and transportation site so the township can supply diesel fuel while the township works toward its own fueling facility; staff said the amendment supports a transition away from diesel as the district adds propane vehicles to its fleet.
Each of these items passed by voice vote. Staff said it will report back with vendor confirmations and scheduling updates as applicable.
