Summary

The Claymont board authorized the district to advertise bids to replace the High School fire alarm system after administrators reported the existing system is at end-of-life and has been activating spontaneously. The authorization was part of the Superintendent's recommended items approved by the board.

The Claymont City Board approved a motion to authorize the district to advertise bids for replacement of the Claymont High School fire alarm system.

Buildings and Grounds Supervisor Bradon Smith had reported during administrative updates that the high-school fire alarm system is at its end of life, with alarms going off spontaneously and replacement parts becoming increasingly difficult to find. The authorization to advertise bids was included in the Superintendent's recommendations approved by the board.

The board did not specify a construction timeline or cost estimate at the meeting; the authorization begins the procurement process so the district can solicit contractors and bids.
