| 1. Permission to Solicit Bids- 325 East Second St (aka Joe B. Hall) Shepherdsville, KY 40165 | Troy Wood |
I am seeking permission to solicit bids on BCPS owned property located at 325 East Second
Street (aka Joe B. Hall), Shepherdsville, KY 40165. This property was declared surplus at the September 2024 board meeting. Bell-Farris conducted an appraisal, valuing the 11.2-acre property at $224,000, with the appraisal costing the district $2,000. I recommend setting the minimum bid at $226,000 to account for both the appraised value and the appraisal cost. The Board will retain the right to accept or reject any and all offers at or above this specified amount.
Please contact me should you have additional questions.

| 5. Request to add copier at the Area Technology Center | Kevin Fugate |
Darrell Vincent, Principal of the Area Technology Center currently has a copier through the State on a Master Agreement with Xerox. However, this machine is outdated and has multiple operating issues. The state is currently looking at removing the MA and this will leave the Area Technology Center without a copier.
At this time, Darrell and I would like to ask permission to add one Toshiba eStudio 4528 dual scan document feeder copier to the Area Technology Center. This machine will have a staple finisher, hole punch, and a 2000 sheet large capacity drawer. It will be equipped with the same card reader and papercut MF as the rest of the district's fleet.
This would be a 27-month coterm of $291.00 per month added to our existing service contract 20586-01 as detailed in the attached sales order.
At this time, I would like permission to proceed and add the additional copier for the Area Technology Center to our current lease. | |

We’ve chosen Dell as our Chromebook partner for another year. We had quotes from other vendors for other brands, but ultimately chose Dell again. Kindergarten through Second Grade will use a 2-in-1 convertible Chromebook while Grades 3 through 12 will continue to use a non-touch clamshell device.
We have yet to choose a white-glove partner but are getting quotes from both Trace3 and Encore.
The Kindergarten touchscreen devices will be a Dell 3120 and the 3/6/9 grade non-touch devices will be the Dell 3120. We will lease the Kindergarten, 3rd, and 6th-grade devices for 3 years with the incoming 9th grade at 4 years. The total amount that will be paid throughout 3 and 4 years will be $1,314,306. Payments are detailed in the lease documents. We currently have a large number of Chrome Upgrade licenses
for the devices and will not need to purchase those this year. Insight Financial will remain our lease provider. The purchase and lease documents are attached for your approval. These lease schedules have been reviewed by our district legal counsel, Eric Farris, and Emily Vessels. After board approval, we’ll send it off to
the state for KDE’s legal counsel approval.
