Committee re-lists and approves bus specifications, citing caution after review
Summary
To ensure clarity and compliance with recent guidance, the North Kingstown School Committee re-listed and approved multiple bus specification items and contractor assignments, stating the re-listing was done 'out of an abundance of caution.'
The committee re-listed previously discussed transportation procurement items to provide clearer descriptions and then approved newly purchased bus specifications and contractor assignments. Legal counsel explained the items were re-listed because prior agendas did not clearly specify that the items pertained to bus contracts and contractors; counsel described the re-listing as "out of an abundance of caution."
Motions to approve bus specifications for contractor bidding and named contractors (including Hancock and Michelle as referenced in the packet) were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. Committee members said the extra clarity was intended to avoid any Open Meetings Act concerns and to make the agenda explicit for the public and vendors.
