BUSINESS OFFICE REPORT
- Budget Updates
- Consider approval of bids on buses and suburban’s – Dr. Berlau presented bids for suburbans and buses. Jeff Cullen put out a bid request for 2 suburbans and no bids were received so Jeff was able to find 2 suburbans at Karl Chevrolet for $45,346.80 each plus $250.00 each for backup alarms. Bid specs for the buses were sent out for 1 lift bus and 2-77 passenger buses with specific requirements requested and with the expected production/delivery time of a year so purchase will likely be for the 23-24 year. Two bids were received: Hoagland’s bid was complete while Thomas’ bid was missing a few things and not all parts met the bid specs. Lift bus: Thomas = $137,791; Hoagland = $141,000. 77-passenger bus: Thomas = $130,913/bus; Hoagland = $135,000/bus. The other thing to note is that Hoagland buses are familiar to our mechanics and can be taken locally for repairs while Thomas buses would need to go to Des Moines for repair. Therefore, Jeff Cullen recommends approval of the Karl Chevrolet quote for the suburbans for purchase now and approval of the Hoagland bid for ordering now. Duane Horsley moved to accept the Karl Chevrolet suburban quote and the bid from Hoagland for 3 buses. Karen Friedlein seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
- Consider quote for the purchase of Clever Touches – The district received a quote for 20 clever touches for $151,111.34, which includes the equipment, speakers, wall mounts and installation. Dr. Berlau’s recommendation is to purchase half of those this fall. Karen Friedlein moved to approve purchase of 10 clever touches at approximately $75,000 and Onica Ulveling seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
ADJOURNMENT – Karen Friedlein moved to adjourn at 7:32pm, Onica Ulveling seconded and there was unanimous approval.
