Administration seeks two‑year extension of snow‑removal contract; board to decide Oct. 28
Summary
Administration sought permission to extend the district’s snow‑removal contract two years to avoid an RFP and cited stable performance; vendor asked to include Lily Park for year one and to allow a 5% increase year two (current season price cited at about $84,000).
District administration requested board permission to amend and extend the current snow‑removal contract for two years rather than issuing an RFP. The vendor has provided satisfactory service in prior contract cycles and agreed to add plowing for Lily Park for the first extension year, asking for a 5% price increase in the second year.
Administration said the current contract is about $84,000 per season; a 5% increase in the second year would raise the price to roughly $88,000. Board members asked whether the district-owned plow truck could be used to cover additional turnaround areas and confirmed procurement thresholds: purchases over $8,000 require three bids and contracts over $25,000 require an RFP, though prior practice had allowed superintendent execution under board authorization.
No vote was taken at the workshop; the item will be placed on the Oct. 28 business meeting agenda for action or a public RFP process if required.
