Treynor board awards year‑round evening cleaning contract to lowest bidder at $7,299.87 per month
Summary
After a month‑long solicitation that produced six bids, the Treynor board approved a year‑round, five‑evenings‑per‑week cleaning contract for the middle and high schools at $7,299.87 per month; the spoken transcript contains alternate spellings of the vendor name (Marsden/Marston).
The Treynor Community School District board voted Feb. 23 to award a year‑round evening cleaning contract for the middle and high schools to the lowest bidder, at a monthly price of $7,299.87. The motion to approve the contract was moved, seconded and passed during the special meeting.
A staff member described a month‑long bid process that produced six official proposals. “We had 6 official bids. Those bids range from a monthly cost, 5 days a week, from $13,423, down to $7,299.87,” the staff member said. The staff recommendation named the lowest bidder as Marsden (the spoken record also contains the alternate spelling “Marston”); staff reported checking local references for the recommended vendor.
Board members asked whether 'evening' service meant work would occur during the summer; staff responded that the contract was intended as year‑round and that details about whether crews would work evening or daytime shifts during summer would be worked out. The staff member also described an internal staffing adjustment so existing custodial coverage would overlap with the contracted crews (the transcript records changing one current staff member’s hours “from 11AM to 7PM”). The board approved the recommended contract and asked staff to finalize the written agreement and related scheduling details.
