Elmhurst D205 awards $2.7M in roofing contracts, rejects intercom bids and approves large consent agenda
Summary
The board authorized roofing contracts covering multiple sites (total awards listed) and rejected intercom bids that came in over budget; trustees also approved a broad consent agenda including an Apple lease, refuse collection, boiler purchases and more.
At its March 24 meeting the Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 Board of Education acted on capital and routine procurement items.
Administration reported roofing bid openings and recommended awards for summer work to replace roofs at several district sites. Trustees voted to award Invitation to Bid Contract 261–103 to Roofing Services LLC in the amount of $2,694,000 and to award a roof contract package (Churchill and York) to L. Marshall Roofing & Sheet Metal ($974,000 for Churchill and $580,000 for York), including alternates that fit within budget where possible. Administration said it will continue to examine scope and negotiate where necessary if total site packages exceed budgeted amounts.
The board also rejected all bids received for Invitation to Bid Contract 26‑104 (York intercom/low‑voltage system) because those bids exceeded the district's expected budget; administration said it will reevaluate scope, sequencing and timing and may reissue the bid in phases to avoid duplicative work.
Earlier in the meeting the board approved a consent agenda that included the personnel report, financial reports, FOIA responses, IHSA membership renewal, 2026–27 international travel recommendations, the Apple lease agreement, refuse collection bid, copier and managed print services, purchase of boiler units, indoor scoreboard purchase, disposal of equipment, cafeteria tables purchase, and the MSRO contract. The consent agenda motion passed 7–0.
Why it matters: the roofing awards represent a material capital outlay for the district's facilities maintenance and planning; rejecting the intercom bids preserves budget discipline while administrators revisit scope and timelines.
