WOSC regents approve pool-area painting contract and HRSA-funded laptop purchase
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the Western Oklahoma State College Board awarded a $46,890 contract to Bulldog Contracting to paint the former natatorium and approved a $35,514.16 purchase of laptops and charging carts using HRSA grant funds. Both motions passed unanimously.
The Western Oklahoma State College Board of Regents approved two procurement items at its June 9 meeting in Altus: a contract award of $46,890 to Bulldog Contracting, LLC to paint the college's former natatorium and a $35,514.16 purchase of laptops and charging carts to be paid with HRSA grant funds.
Regent Dustin Lively moved to approve the painting project award for the now-filled pool area to Bulldog Contracting in the amount of $46,890; Regent Dana Darby seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Later, Regent Darby moved to approve the purchase of laptops and charging carts totaling $35,514.16 using HRSA grant funds as presented by Rachel Beckner, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Regent Vernon seconded and the motion was adopted unanimously.
The painting contract was presented by President Chad Wiginton as part of the college's deferred maintenance agenda items. The laptop purchase was presented by Rachel Beckner and explicitly identified HRSA grant funds as the funding source.
Why it matters: the painting contract addresses deferred facilities maintenance on campus; the HRSA-funded technology purchase is intended to support academic programming, paid from a designated federal grant rather than general funds.
Next steps: the contracts and purchases will be implemented by the college's Business Affairs and Academic Affairs teams under standard procurement oversight.
