Board approves $106,275 purchase and $38,922 installation for Holcomb High School boilers
Summary
The Holcomb school board approved contingency-funded purchases and installation for four new boilers at Holcomb High School: $106,275 to buy the boilers (Reese) and $38,922 to install them (Trane). Both motions carried at the July 13 meeting.
The superintendent recommended the board approve a bid from Reese to purchase four boilers for Holcomb High School not to exceed $106,275 and to fund the purchase from contingency funds.
"I recommend the board approve the bid from Reese to replace the 4 boilers at Holcomb High School not to exceed a 106,275," the superintendent said. The board moved and the motion carried on a voice vote.
The board then approved a separate bid from Trane for installation of the boilers, not to exceed $38,922, also to be paid from contingency funds. The motion to award the installation contract was moved, seconded and carried. The superintendent said the purchase was for the boilers themselves and that installation would be handled in the separate action.
Board members questioned cost differences compared with earlier estimates, noting prior projections were higher; a board member called the purchase price “significantly cheaper than what we were initially thought.” The board did not identify additional funding sources beyond contingency funds and did not amend the recommended amounts.
Next steps: purchase and installation were approved; the district will proceed with procurement and contractor scheduling. No public hearing or further vote was recorded in the meeting minutes concerning these contracts.
