Summary
Will County SD 92 approved a $39,200 contract with DLA Architects for the district's Life Safety Plan and 10‑year Life Safety Survey; the assistant superintendent said DLA is the district's architect of record and prices were compared to others.
The Board of Education approved professional services from DLA Architects to perform the district's Life Safety Plan and 10‑year Life Safety Survey for $39,200. Board member Przybyl moved approval and Board member Tidwell seconded; the board voted unanimously to approve the agreement.
Assistant Superintendent for Business Services Dave Blatchley responded to a question about competitive bidding, saying that DLA is the district's architect of record, knows the district, and that he compared prices and found DLA's cost was in the same range as other providers. The minutes record the exchange: "Member Przybyl asked if there was a bidding process, and Dave Blatchley stated that since DLA is the district’s architect of record and knows the district, it was not necessary. Mr. Blatchley also compared prices and noted DLA was in the same range as others." The motion carried with all members voting aye.
The minutes do not provide a vendor contract number or an implementation timeline for the survey work.
