THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Larned USD 495 has a vendor proposal from Sopa Inc. for replacing its telescopic bleacher systems with Hussey MAXAM seating, using the Sourcewell cooperative contract. The base system is priced at $474,799 with several add/deduct options and a promised summer installation window if procured via Sourcewell. This indicates an impending facilities equipment purchase; competitors in seating, installation, and electrical work can still engage as the district has not documented a board-approved award here.
Proposal uses Sourcewell as the procurement vehicle and excludes all electrical work, which will require separate contracting.
