Summary

District staff recommended an enhanced PA and emergency notification system after demonstrations and interviews, noting the work will strengthen infrastructure; bids and recommendations were discussed and a final award for emergency notification was later approved by the board.

Staff and the construction/technology team reviewed a technology bid packet covering an enhanced PA and emergency notification system. Evan reported bids were solicited and received on 04/09/2026 and that post-bid demonstrations helped staff evaluate equipment and procedures. During the presentation, Evan stated: "We are recommending a reward of $750,320 to Boss Audio Corporation," noting the team conducted in-person interviews and demonstrations.

Later in the meeting the board moved to award the emergency notification contract by voice motion; the motion as recorded in the action list approved the emergency notification bid to Moss Audio Corporation for $750,329. Board members and staff praised the safety improvements. The transcript shows both a recommendation referencing one vendor and a subsequent approved award listing a different vendor and a slightly different dollar figure; procurement documents should be consulted to confirm final vendor and contract amount.
