Board awards intercom speaker contract using PCCD school safety grant
Summary
The board awarded an intercom‑speaker contract to the lowest bidder, IP Phone Warehouse, for $90,138.75 to install speakers at two elementary schools and the middle school; the project is funded by a Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) School Safety and Security Grant.
The board approved awarding the intercom speaker bid to the lowest bidder, IP Phone Warehouse. The bid amounts listed in the packet were $48,213.75 for Mount Rock Elementary and Oak Flat Elementary combined and $41,925 for the middle school, for a combined bid total of $90,138.75.
Mr. Robert Krebs, director of technology, told the board the project was on the capital improvement list and that grant funding would cover the full project cost. The administration said the funding for the purchase is slated to come from the 2025–26 Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency School Safety and Security Grant, not the district’s operating budget.
The board approved the award, with members noting that the bid came in lower than earlier projections and that the grant will pay the cost. The district also approved related maintenance and custodial service agreements that the administration said had been competitively solicited.
