Board approves Pitlick and WIC parking-lot bid; administration recommended two board members abstain
Summary
After a competitive bid process run with MSA Professional Services, the board awarded the Sugar Camp gravel driveway and parking-lot contract to Pitlick and WIC; administration recommended two board members abstain due to employment ties.
The Three Lakes School District board voted to award a contract to Pitlick and WIC to install a gravel driveway and parking lot at the Sugar Camp School after MSA Professional Services recommended the low responsive bidder.
District administration summarized the bid process, saying five local firms were invited and bids were reviewed by MSA. Administration noted that two current board members are employees of Pitlick and WIC and "recommended that Josh Crowell and Michelle Muteline abstain from making a vote on this bid proposal" to avoid the appearance of a conflict. The recommendation was recorded in the meeting minutes.
A motion to accept the Pitlick and WIC bid was made, seconded and carried by voice vote. The motion record in the minutes does not include a roll call or a numeric tally, and the transcript does not record whether the two named board members formally registered abstentions at the vote.
MSA Professional Services' recommendation and the administration’s disclosure were included in the board packet and made available for review, and the bid award will proceed per the vendor recommendation.
