Board approves capital purchases and lottery fund releases; board reauthorizes middle‑school resurfacing amount
Summary
The board approved dishwasher and track repair contracts, accepted draft line‑item requests for NC school capital lottery funds, and reapproved a Polk County Middle School seal/striping project after an overlooked $2,530 striping line was discovered, bringing that project to $53,104.25.
The board approved several capital items and a consolidated request for North Carolina school capital lottery funds after administrators reviewed line‑item requirements and project statuses.
Administrators presented bid tabulations for two dishwasher replacements and recommended awarding the combined Hobart/CMA equipment bid to Swaner at $51,240 (with tax) for Polk County High School and Saluda Elementary; the board approved the purchase and staff said funding will come from PSBCF lottery funds and general funds to keep the local capital ledger intact.
On facilities repair, administrators described a track resurfacing and repair need after an aeration incident damaged the rubberized surface. Geo Services, the original installer, submitted a repair/resurfacing proposal (approximately $180,000). Administrators said Nationwide Insurance agreed to cover the repair in full, allowing the district to proceed without local out‑of‑pocket costs; the board approved proceeding with Geo Services to preserve the warranty.
During a review of capital lottery submissions, staff identified a $2,530 striping invoice that had been omitted from a previously approved Polk County Middle School asphalt seal/striping project, increasing that project’s total to $53,104.25. Administration asked the board to reapprove the full amount to ensure the ledger accurately reflected the work; trustees approved the reauthorization and the broader draft lottery fund release requests.
Board votes on these capital items were unanimous unless otherwise noted; administrators said completed and in‑progress projects (HVAC, septic/storm repairs at Polk Central, fencing and playground work) will be included in the line‑item submissions to the state.
