Transylvania County Schools has begun the process of standardizing intercom and clock/bell systems with its recent installation of an intercom system at Pisgah Forest Elementary School. Standardization allows a more streamlined repair and maintenance process and promises options not available with different systems installed.

Attached are proposals for new intercom and clock/bell systems at Brevard High and Rosman High/Middle in conjunction with the bond construction projects. In order to meet fire and safety codes, parts of the system must be installed this summer in preparation for temporary moves and construction.

Board Policy 6430 requires approval by the board for sole source items when standardization or compatibility is the overriding consideration, and where purchases are expected to be $90,000 or more. Directors Norris Barger and Chris Whitlock will discuss the proposals and answer any questions you may have.

A motion is in order to approve the proposals for new intercom and clock/bell systems at BHS and RHS/RMS and authorize a purchase order to Cloud Networx, LLC, the sole authorized dealer for Bogen equipment in Western North Carolina.
