Summary
The board awarded a $140,814 contract to Greatline Communications to install Commscope Cat6a plenum cabling at Betsy Ross and Anne Sullivan schools, with partial reimbursement anticipated through the federal E‑Rate program.
Prospect Heights School District 23 approved a $140,814 contract with Greatline Communications to update low-voltage network cabling at Betsy Ross and Anne Sullivan schools. The scope calls for Commscope Uniprise Cat6a plenum cable, new j-hooks, raceway work and support for wireless access points; administration noted the work follows previous Grodsky and MacArthur upgrades and will proceed after school ends in Summer 2026.
Mr. Christopher Alms, Director of Technology and Information Services (as listed in the action item), was cited in the board packet as the contact for the project and the district said it will pursue partial reimbursement through the E‑Rate program. The motion to approve the Greatline Communications contract was made by Mrs. Tracey Morrissey, seconded by Dr. Spencer Long, and passed by a recorded roll call (Yea 7). The vendor included a 25-year warranty on the cabling plant and a two-year contractor warranty for workmanship.
The board packet and vendor quote detail counts: at Betsy Ross the bid included 78 two-port drops, four four-port drops and 32 access-point cabling locations; at Anne Sullivan the bid included 70 two-port drops, four four-port drops and 29 access-point cabling locations. Work is described as an eight-week summer schedule contingent on the district receiving E‑Rate funding approval.
