Board approves East Washington steps, Eagle early‑literacy furniture and multi‑branch FF&E contracts
Summary
Trustees approved three facilities items recommended by the facilities committee: a Mattingly Concrete contract (~$74,962) to replace East Washington branch front steps (railings additional $10k–$15k), a $58,356.12 purchase order for early‑literacy furniture at Eagle Branch, and a $251,272.23 contract with RJE Interiors for FF&E at Michigan Road, Southport and Warren.
The board approved three facilities resolutions after committee recommendations:
- Resolution 22‑2026: Award a construction services contract to Mattingly Concrete (Carmel) for East Washington branch concrete front steps replacement. The lone responsive quote was $74,962.30; estimated additional railings cost is $10,000–$15,000. Work is planned after Labor Day to minimize downtime and will be funded through bond fund 4.
- Resolution 23‑2026: Approve a purchase order for early‑literacy furniture at Eagle Branch from Commercial Office Environments (COE) for $58,356.12. The cost is below the $100,000 estimate and includes delivery and installation; funding from bond fund 4.
- Resolution 24‑2026: Award a services contract to RJE Interiors for furniture, fixtures and equipment replacement at Michigan Road, Southport and Warren branches for $251,272.23. The award was the lowest responsive bidder and came in under the $300,000 project estimate; funding from bond fund 490.
Committee members discussed bid participation and the plan to minimize service interruptions during construction; trustees asked logistical questions and voted to approve each resolution by roll call.
