Board approves nearly $94,000 intercom replacement for Lee County High School; one member abstains
Summary
The board approved purchase of a replacement intercom system for Lee County High School after receiving two bids; the lowest offer (New Quest System via Envision Technologies) was $93,968.29 and the motion passed 4–0 with one abstention from a member citing a family connection.
The Lee County Board of Education voted to replace an obsolete intercom system at Lee County High School, approving the lowest bid for the purchase and installation.
The superintendent told the board the district posted a request for information on the state procurement site and a local business portal and received two responses. The lowest bid — identified in the packet as the New Quest System through Envision Technologies — was for $93,968.29. "The lowest bid was ... through Envision Technologies for the purchase price of $93,968.29," the superintendent said.
A motion to approve the replacement was moved and seconded and passed with four members voting yes and one member abstaining; in the meeting record the abstaining member cited a family connection when explaining the reason to abstain. The superintendent recommended moving forward with the acquisition and the board approved the purchase.
The administration said the request for information was posted beginning July 17 for 30 days on the state procurement site and a local vendor portal. No other contract details or vendor warranties were discussed during the public meeting.
