The East Lansing School District Board of Education on March 9 approved a series of contracts tied to the districts 2024 safety, security and accessibility bond, including work on door hardware, flooring and HVAC controls for the high school and middle school.
Trustee Chambers moved and Trustee Edel seconded a motion awarding doors, frames and hardware contracts and a flooring contract as listed in the motion: Category 8A (high school doors, frames and hardware) to William Brankenbach Company for $326,950; Category 8B (middle school doors, frames and hardware) to Integrity Interiors Incorporated for $238,392; and Category 9B (flooring) to Omega Floors for $327,777. The motion passed.
The board also approved HVAC-controls contracts listed in a subsequent motion.

The HVAC motion was moved and seconded (names recorded in the transcript as Trustee Edo and Trusty Ferris Highland) and passed by the board.
During discussion trustees noted the work is expected to be completed before the next school year and that some door-frame upgrades are intended so teachers can secure classrooms without stepping into hallways during an incident. A trustee who had recently visited the middle school described visible wear on some frames and said the work is "much needed." The motion texts in the transcript contain vendor names and amounts as read into the record; some vendor spellings and numeric formats follow the meeting transcript verbatim.
The motions were recorded and approved during the March 9 meeting; the transcript does not contain a detailed roll-call vote for either motion, only the chairs declaration that the motions passed. The board packet and contract documents should be consulted for formal contract language, vendor contact information, and exact dollar figures as executed.
