Pinckney officials review bids for high‑school servery upgrade, preliminary total near $414K–$427K
Summary
District staff reported three bids for a high‑school servery and kitchen equipment with a tight spread; preliminary totals ranged roughly $414,000 to $427,000 and staff discussed using a mix of food‑service and bond funds to finance the project.
District operations staff gave the board an update on bids opened for a planned high‑school servery and related food‑service equipment. Bids were opened the same day; staff reported three bidders and a tight spread in the totals, with the combined package and alternates currently adding up to roughly $414,000–$427,000 depending on selected options.
Administrators described a tentative funding approach that would split the cost between the food‑service program and bond funds (a preliminary estimate discussed in the meeting was about $200,000 from food service and $200,000 from bond proceeds). Staff noted items still under review, including whether to include certain alternates and additional equipment items such as a replacement dishwasher for an elementary site and ongoing freezer repairs at district schools.
Board members and staff discussed scheduling and lead times; staff said lead times could push completion into early September if awarded quickly, and that the district could instead delay work to a winter break window if necessary. Staff emphasized that much of the servery work is modular and can be scheduled around school calendars with the right contractors.
No formal award was made at the meeting; staff said they will complete bid analysis and return to the board with a recommendation.
