B.

Approval of Modular-Tech and Zingo Construction for Facility Maintenance and Improvement

M.Sahin, MPS Project Manager, provided analysis for Modular-Tech and Zingo Construction to be added to the master vendor list to provide services over $50,000. The Committee and Board had previously voted to add both vendors to the preferred vendor list. Due to the needs of the schools - private sites - the services would likely exceed the $50,000 threshold. He explained that an RFP process was conducted. Committee Members questions were addressed by staff. 

D. Gonzalez made a motion to approve Modular-Tech and Zingo Construction as vendors for facility maintenance and improvement projects for all MPS campuses and that the MPS Audit/Facilities Committee recommends and moves that the MPS Board of Directors approve the same.
M. Muhammedov seconded the motion.
The committee VOTED unanimously to approve the motion.
