Board approves HVAC filter contract extension (Bid2023-07) after vendor explanation
Summary
The board approved an extension to the HVAC filter contract (Bid2023-07); staff explained a single bid returned because the winning vendor manufactures its own filters, and price variances reflect materials and supply differences across schools.
The board approved a recommendation to extend contract Bid2023-07 for HVAC filters by unanimous vote. A board member asked why only one bid was submitted; staff explained the awarded company manufactures its own air filters and one competitor declined to bid because they purchase filters from the winning vendor. Staff also said price differences across buildings reflect local material and supply conditions.
The motion carried 7-0. Staff indicated they will finalize paperwork and implement the contract extension according to the terms previously presented to the board.
Board members praised staff for clarifying the procurement process and noted the district will monitor price variations across schools.
