Board approves heat-pump, well-pump and copy-machine contracts; one abstention recorded
Summary
The board awarded the junior-high heat-pump contract to Stillwater Electric (selected as the lower-priced option after discussion), approved replacement of an aging well pump, and awarded a copy-machine lease to Fishers Technology after comparing monthly and per-copy costs; one board member abstained on the heat-pump vote due to a contract.
The board considered and approved several procurement items. For junior-high hallway heat pumps, staff presented two bids; one package was about $5,000 lower than the other and the board amended the motion to name Stillwater Electric as the contractor. One member abstained because of an existing contract with the vendor.
The board also approved replacement of an aging irrigation well pump after maintenance staff described capacity and age concerns; staff said the current pump was likely 15–20 years old and is a variable-frequency 15-horsepower unit with roughly 150 gallons-per-minute capacity. Finally, after comparing monthly lease costs and per-copy fees across three vendors (Ricoh, Konica Minolta, Fishers), the board amended a motion and approved a Fishers Technology lease for three new units.
