Board approves CTE equipment and furniture low bids, purchases to follow under budget
Summary
The board approved using low bidders for CTE equipment and furniture. Staff reported vendor totals and said the combined bids came in well under the $693,878 budget; purchases will proceed as needs arise using the low bidders selected.
The North Knox School Corp board voted to accept the low bidders for Career and Technical Education (CTE) equipment and furniture, authorizing staff to purchase items as needed from those vendors.
Staff presented a lengthy itemized list (tab J) and summarized vendor totals: Educational Furniture (approx. $276,000), Meteor Education (approx. $125,000), Air Gas (approx. $161,000), a vendor listed in the transcript for a 3‑D anatomy table at roughly $110,000, and Reality Works (approx. $20,000). Staff said the total of identified low bids came in well under the board’s budgeted amount of $693,878.
The staff presenter noted some single‑vendor items had only one bidder and that, when purchases are made, the district will use the low bidder for each item. The board moved, seconded and approved the acceptance of low bids as presented.
The board did not identify mover/second names or a roll‑call tally in the record; the motion carried by voice vote. Staff said not every item on the bid list will necessarily be purchased at once; rather, the approved vendors will be used when items are ordered.
