Committee approves flood insurance renewal and a slate of routine procurement awards
Summary
The board committee recommended renewing flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program at the presented premium and approved multiple bid tabulations and RFP awards including the official journal, Carcraft for vehicle body repairs, fuel contracts, custodial supplies (one bidder disqualified), solid-waste collection, library book vendors and ELA supplemental workbooks.
The St. Bernard Parish School Board’s finance committee reviewed and moved forward several procurement items and an insurance renewal.
Flood insurance: Finance staff and Timothy Clemens of Clemens Insurance Services presented the district’s National Flood Insurance Program renewal and related premiums (materials listed a total premium of $181,955); Clemens noted the increase was modest overall though one facility (cafeteria) showed a larger percentage hike tied to FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 individualized building ratings. Trustees asked about the outlier and about future rate expectations; staff recommended renewing at the presented rates and the motion was announced as passed.
Procurements and RFP results: The committee recommended awards and forwarded them with positive votes:
• Official journal (one bidder) — recommended award to the appearing bidder in packet; motion passed.
• Painting and body repairs — recommended to Carcraft (single qualified bidder); motion passed.
• Fuel, lubricants and related items — recommended to the lowest bidders on each item; motion passed.
• Paper, cleaning and custodial supplies — multiple bidders; one bidder (Port Portion Pack) was disqualified for improper bid formatting and the committee recommended awards to the low bidders on each item; motion passed.
• Collection and disposal of solid waste — recommended award to IV Waste (low bidder) with optional renewals; motion passed.
• Library books RFP — committee recommended awards to PLET School Solutions and Mac and Educational Resources (committee scores tied across some categories); motion passed.
• ELA supplemental workbooks RFP — committee recommended Curriculum Associates as the awardee; schools choosing to purchase will use school allocations; motion passed.
All procurement recommendations were presented as routine annual or multi-year contracts; the committee moved each item forward to the full board as recommended.
