Board approves UFC food partnership and awards fuel and propane bids
Summary
The board approved a 2026 partnership with UFC Food Ministries (including a $30 per‑child payment for outreach/services) and awarded propane and fuel contracts—propane to Feral Gas LP at $1.579/gal and diesel/gas bids for district transport—after opening bids and agreeing to verify invoice details.
At its March 17 meeting the Gallatin County Board of Education approved multiple business items including a summer feeding partnership with UFC Food Ministries and the district’s fuel and propane contracts.
UFC Food Ministries: Board members approved a contract to host the nonprofit’s summer food distribution program beginning in June, with staff emphasizing coordination to avoid double‑counting meals between school meal sites and home deliveries. Administrators said the agreement includes a payment to the district of $30 per child for services such as outreach and advertising support.
Fuel and propane procurement: The board opened bids for propane and fuel and moved to award the propane contract to Feral Gas LP at $1.579 per gallon delivered. District staff read transport/load pricing for diesel and gasoline and the board approved the fuel bids as presented, with staff agreeing to verify billing calculations with vendors before final invoicing.
Other business: The board also approved a one‑year payment to KT’s Offers for $10,855 and an adtech agreement for 2026–27. A proposed website contract was tabled pending receipt of the actual contract language.
Next steps: Staff will finalize procurement paperwork, verify invoice figures with the winning vendors, and proceed with implementation of the summer food partnership as scheduled.
