Superintendent requests board approval for Arlington High School field‑house equipment; motion approved
Summary
The superintendent asked the board to approve a purchase of equipment for the Arlington High School field house through the Omnia contract and the board voted to approve the motion after brief discussion of cost, durability and an estimated six‑to‑eight‑week lead time.
The superintendent asked the board to approve a purchase of equipment for the Arlington High School field house from Office Interiors and the board approved the motion after a short discussion of cost and timeline.
The superintendent said the proposed purchase would be made through the Omnia contract and stated the amount in the transcript as "$115,000.568 and 22¢," adding that an earlier bid had been about $162,000. "What we did is ... we had an initial meeting to share our needs," the superintendent said, describing vendor meetings to adjust materials, colors and durability features so the installation would last over time.
Board members asked a brief question about the layout; the superintendent said the design is included in the board packet and that lead time is "a 6 to 8 week lead time," noting the district was aiming for a ribbon‑cutting in April or May.
The presiding officer called for and recorded a motion to approve the superintendent's recommendation; after a voice vote the presiding officer stated, "Motion carries," and adjourned the meeting.
The superintendent emphasized durability and long‑term value during the presentation, noting storage and folding mechanisms were considered. The purchase was presented as leveraging the Omnia cooperative contract to obtain a lower price than a prior bid.
No individual roll‑call vote totals or the names of the motion's mover and seconder were recorded in the transcript.
