The Building & Grounds Committee voted to forward a $357,100 contract award for Sherando High School plumbing refurbishment to the full board after staff said only one bid was received; the recommended vendor and scope exclude field‑house fixtures, which will be handled separately.

The Frederick County Public Schools Building & Grounds Committee voted Oct. 13 to forward a recommended contract award for Sherando High School plumbing refurbishment to the full school board. Staff recommended awarding the work to Blau Brothers for $357,100, noting two vendors attended the pre‑bid but only one submitted an actual bid.

"We're recommending that you forward to the full board the contract award to Blau Brothers, for Sherando High School Plumbing refurbishment in the amount of $357,100," a staff member told the committee. Committee member [name withheld in transcript] moved the recommendation and it was seconded; the committee approved the motion by voice vote.

Staff emphasized transparency about the scope and limitations of the proposed award. The recommendation does not include replacement of plumbing fixtures and countertops in the field house next to the stadium; staff said a separate award is being pursued for that area.

The committee’s recommendation now goes to the full board for final approval. No detailed roll‑call vote was recorded in the committee transcript; the committee approved the motion by unanimous voice vote at the meeting.
