Board approves low bid for elementary roofing project, transcript shows inconsistent contractor spelling
Summary
The board awarded the elementary roofing contract to the lowest bidder; the lowest base bid was $341,525 with a $2,500 alternate deduction (total $339,025). The vendor name is inconsistently transcribed in the record.
The Centerville-Abington Community Schools Board approved the low bid for the elementary roofing project after the district opened five bids.
District staff reported that the lowest base bid was $341,525 with one alternate deduction of $2,500, yielding a total of $339,025 for the awarded package. The board noted that two lowest bidders were questioned as part of the evaluation and recommended awarding to the lowest responsive bidder; a motion to accept the low bid was made, seconded and recorded as passing 5-0.
The meeting transcript records inconsistent spellings of the vendor’s name (variously transcribed as "Shaml Suns," "Charm Shal" and similar variants). The record does not provide a clearly authoritative vendor spelling; district procurement records or the bid tabulation should be consulted for the official contractor name before publishing or executing contract documents.
Why it matters: Awarding the roofing contract triggers summer capital work at the elementary school. The contract value and vendor identity are material details for taxpayers and contractors; the inconsistent transcription in the record requires verification.
What’s next: Staff indicated the work would be completed this summer. Business Office staff should finalize the contract with the awarded vendor and provide the board and the public with the verified company name and contract documents.
