Bids Accepted By School Board

RANDOLPH, Utah.  August 19, 2015. The bids for the tractor used in the Laketown area were opened.  Steven Frank Wilson’s bid of $5,001 for the tractor was the high bid.  The ground’s keeper was asked to bring the tractor to the school in Randolph where Wilson can pick it up.

Peggy Feller, food supervisor, presented the milk bids to the Commission.  She noted that one bid from Meadow Gold will fluctuate with the market milk price.  The other bid from Glacier is for 21 cents each for a container of 1 percent milk fat and 22 cents for chocolate milk.  She recommended the school stay with the bid from Glacier.  The Board approved the Glacier bid.

The bids for meat were from RMS and Glacier.  RMS’s bid was for $3.05 a pound for hamburger patties.  Glacier’s bid was for the weekly beef market price.  The Board decided to go with the Glacier’s bid since hamburger patties are served about once a month. 

The Rich County Schools did not qualify for the federal grant for fruits and vegetables for a snack for students during the afternoon.  The grant last year was $7,000.  After a brief discussion, the Board decided to continue the program with the District picking up the full cost which will be around $15,000.

It was noted that Feller has been working all summer to collect on delinquent lunch accounts.  She has been able to get quite a few accounts current which will help with the fruits and vegetables snack costs.
