Lee County Board authorizes bid process for welding lab ventilation upgrades estimated at $85,000
Summary
The board approved soliciting quotes and bids for movable ventilation equipment for the CTA welding lab to address safety concerns in 14 welding booths; Superintendent Robert Truit estimated the project cost at about $85,000 and the motion passed 5–0.
The Lee County Board of Education on June 11 authorized staff to solicit quotes and bids for new, movable ventilation equipment for the district’s CTA welding laboratory to address an aging ventilation system that staff said poses a safety hazard.
Superintendent Robert Truit described the equipment as meeting industry standards and noted that the units would be movable so they could be reused if the welding lab is relocated in the future. He said the district’s current system is not pulling the correct filtration and that the existing equipment has served its life. "The approximate that the total cost of this project will be in the neighborhood of $85,000," Truit said. Board members confirmed the lab serves 14 welding booths.
The board voted unanimously to approve the bid process and move forward with the project solicitation.
