ACT TO APPROVE EMERGENCY AWARD FOR CONTRACTS WITHOUT BIDS FOR HENRY'S PRIVATE SECURITY (Mr. Creason)
Our district typically budgets $5,000 - $10,000 every year for security guard services for various holiday weekends, winter break, spring break, etc. However, due to the extensive vandalism that occurred at Liberty School on August 22 while our security alarm system was being upgraded, we felt it was urgent that we provide standing security guard service from August 23 until the security alarm repairs were completed on September 14. This cost, combined with the usual Labor Day guard services used at the rest of our schools, plus the standing guard service needed to protect Challenger from August 20 until the first day of school exceeded the $15,000 limit allowed to spend without a bid (invoices total $15,657.25).
The recommended action is to approve the Emergency Award of Contracts without Bids for Liberty in the amount of $3,760.50 and for Challenger in the amount of $3,892.75.
