Board approves $129,667 contract to refurbish Onalaska High School elevator
Summary
After reviewing bids for a 38-year-old high-school elevator, the board approved a $129,667 Phase 1A refurbishment contract with TKE, the low bidder that met the district's timeline and parts availability.
The board approved a $129,667 contract with TKE to refurbish a 38‑year‑old elevator at Onalaska High School after staff said full replacement was unnecessary and TKE offered the low bid and the timeline required for pre‑school start work.
Tyler, the district’s facilities presenter, said bidders indicated a full replacement was not needed and that TKE could provide required parts and meet the district timeline. The board approved the bid in a motion that passed on a voice vote.
Board members asked about the project budget and schedule; staff said the district had originally budgeted about $160,000 for the project and that the TKE bid met the needs while keeping the project under that estimate.
The contract award directs facilities staff to proceed with the refurbishment and to coordinate scheduling so the elevator is available for the next school year.
