Board awards $135,657 contract for secure entry doors using PCCD safety grant
Summary
The Clarion-Limestone Area SD board approved a $135,657 contract with Hardware Specialties (CoStarz member) to install a secure high-school entryway, funded by a $114,761 PCCD safety grant and $20,890.26 from capital reserves.
The Clarion-Limestone Area School District board approved a contract with Hardware Specialties, a member of CoStarz, to install a secure exterior entryway at the high school for $135,657.
Board materials presented the purchase price and funding sources: a PCCD safety grant totaling $114,761 will cover most of the cost and the district will contribute the remainder of $20,890.26 from the capital reserve fund. During discussion a committee member thanked district staff ("Brian") for securing grant funding, saying, "I'd like to thank Brian for going out and working so hard on this and being able to get it all done for us only spending 20,000 of our money." The chair and others noted the funding breakdown as stated in the proposal. A roll call vote approved the contract.
The board also discussed forming a small building committee to advise project staff; members emphasized keeping the advisory group small to avoid additional public-meeting obligations that attach to formal committees. The contract award is an approved board action contingent on budget appropriation from the capital reserve and grant proceeds.
