Background:

The Board of Education solicited Bids for #LPS 22-10 (Ledyard Public Schools Agricultural Science Small Animal Habitat). Director of Facilities and Grounds Wayne Donaldson called and or emailed as many vendors as possible, however, he received no responses/bids.

Therefore, the Board of Education has requested a Bid Waiver in the amount of $32,590 to Marineland to purchase the needed units to house small animals such as birds, reptiles and small mammals at the LHS Agricultural Science small animal lab.

Marineland was the only vendor the school could find that had units that would get through the doors and be short enough to fit under the ceiling. (Please see attached Bid and Quotes)
