Board lists policy first readings and procurement recommendations for May 7 vote, including Aramark renewal and concrete bid
Summary
The board received first readings of multiple policies and learned of procurement recommendations to be voted May 7, including a one‑year Aramark renewal, a concrete project base bid of $355,492 to Abbey Construction, copy paper joint bid results, and a custodial supply award totaling $63,891.84.
At the April 23 meeting the West Chicago ESD 33 board was briefed on a set of first‑reading policies and procurement recommendations it will consider at its May 7 meeting. Items identified for future action included a one‑year contract renewal with Aramark Corporation for 2026–27 and procurement recommendations arising from recent bid openings.
Specific procurement items the board was asked to review on May 7 included a recommendation to award concrete repairs at Currier and Wegner to Abbey Construction with a base bid of $355,492.00, the results of a joint copy paper bid with neighboring districts, and a custodial/maintenance supply recommendation to award Unipak and Warehouse Direct for a combined total of $63,891.84. The board also received a proposal for a horizontal climbing wall in the auxiliary gym at Leman Middle School and a donation offer from USAgain to install an organic garden at Gary School.
Why it matters: These contracts and donations affect building maintenance, instructional space improvements and ongoing vendor services for the district. Board review on May 7 will determine whether the recommendations become final awards or contract renewals.
No final contract awards were approved on April 23; those actions are scheduled for the May 7 meeting.
