School Board approves $41,069 helmet purchase and selects four architectural firms
Summary
The board approved a $41,069 contract with BSN Sports for football helmets and authorized a pool of four architectural firms—Lachin Architects; NY Associates; Sizeler Thompson Brown Architects; and Yeates Mancil Architects—by unanimous roll calls.
The St. John the Baptist Parish School Board voted Jan. 19 to award two procurement actions under Business & Finance.
Mrs. Janice Gauthier asked the board to award a contract to BSN Sports for football helmets. She stated BSN offered a $3,000 discount, reducing the vendor's bid from $44,069 to $41,069. A motion by Mr. Patrick Sanders, seconded by Ms. Charo Holden, passed on roll call with 11 yeas to award the helmets contract to BSN for $41,069.
On a separate motion, the board voted to create a pool of architectural design firms for upcoming facilities work. The L&F Committee recommended four firms: Lachin Architects; NY Associates; Sizeler Thompson Brown Architects; and Yeates Mancil Architects. The motion by Mr. Morris, seconded by Mr. Mamou, passed on roll call with 11 yeas.
Why it matters: These awards authorize near-term spending and position the district to begin facilities planning and equipment purchases for athletics. The helmet purchase is a direct safety-related equipment buy; the architectural pool establishes vendors for future capital work.
Both motions passed unanimously as recorded in the minutes.
