The Teaneck Board of Education agenda for April 22 contained detailed vendor quotes and proposed purchases for food-service equipment and furniture across multiple schools.
The materials list a MAP Restaurant Supplies quotation for equipment and smallwares with a grand total of $175,041.93 to serve several schools (Bryant, Hawthorne, Lowell, Lacey, Whittier, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, and Teaneck High School), funded through the district’s Food Services account and procured via a state-cooperative bid (ESCNJ 24/25-18; NJ State Approved Co-Op #65MCESCCPS). Specific school line-item totals are provided in the packet; the agenda references attached quote documents (pages 101–134). In addition, a KI furniture quotation (Contract OT0012842A ESCNJ 22/23-08) lists a combined total of $6,701.26 for food-service furniture for Benjamin Franklin Middle School, Hawthorne, Whittier and Bryant Elementary Schools (pages 135–141).
The agenda also lists ancillary procurements and vendor arrangements for disposal of antiquated technology equipment (Upcycle LLC, approximate equipment value $6,715) and multiple kitchen supply quotes tied to the Food Services budget lines. The agenda notes that these purchases are recommended "upon the recommendation of the Superintendent," and that they will be funded by the Food Services account and through available co-op contracts.
The meeting packet includes full vendor quotations and product lists (models, warranty terms) from MAP Restaurant Supplies and KI. The transcript does not record the board’s vote or the meeting outcome for these purchase approvals; the agenda places the items for board consideration.
