Haverford Township SD board approves $3.29M in disbursements, $308,200 flooring contract and change orders; member abstains on PECO item
Summary
At the Jan. regular meeting, the Haverford Township School District board approved $3,288,566.74 in disbursements, authorized change orders producing a $28,049 rebate, and approved a $308,200 Miller Flooring proposal for Coopertown Elementary; Miss Snodgrass abstained on a PECO-related contract citing employment with an Exelon affiliate.
Haverford Township School District board members voted to approve disbursements totaling $3,288,566.74 and several facilities-related items at their regular January meeting.
The meeting record shows the board moved and seconded the disbursement motion and approved it by voice vote. Earlier in the finance and facilities portion of the agenda, the board approved grouped items 7b–7d; Miss Snodgrass announced she would abstain on item 7b, which includes a contract with PECO Gas Services, because she is employed by Exelon, a company affiliated with PECO. She stated she filed an abstention memo to be included in the minutes.
In facilities business the board authorized change orders recommended by the owner's representative, CB Development Services Inc., approving net change orders that result in a $28,049 rebate. A board member asked whether the budget change would affect grant eligibility; the record includes the question but does not record a detailed answer in the public minutes before the vote.
The board also approved a CoStars wood-flooring recommendation: the proposal from Miller Flooring Company for the Coopertown Elementary project at a total cost of $308,200. A member asked whether the flooring was part of the original project budget; other members described the purchase as being processed through CoStars pricing and not an addition to the project budget in the board discussion recorded.
Votes on the routine finance and facilities motions were taken by voice; the record shows the motions passed. The meeting minutes will include Miss Snodgrass's abstention memo regarding the PECO item.
Next steps: approved contracts and disbursement actions will proceed through the district's administrative processes as recorded; no additional board action on these items was scheduled during the meeting.
