Lawrence Township Public Schools officials have awarded contracts for new windows, ramps and security improvements, while rejecting a bid for new siding on the modular school buildings.

The Board of Education awarded the contracts, which are part of the $25.1 million bond referendum approved by voters in January, at its Nov. 14 meeting.

The board awarded a $58,400 contract to Panoramic Window and Door Systems to replace the windows in the modular classroom buildings at the Slackwood, Eldridge Park, Lawrenceville and Ben Franklin elementary schools.

Bids for the window replacement project ranged from Panoramic Window and Door Systems’ low bid of $58,400 to a high bid of $88,620. There were four bidders for the job.

The board awarded a $213,000 contract to Joseph Porretta Builders to replace ramps and stairs at the modular classroom buildings at the four elementary schools.

The four bids for the ramp and stair replacement project ranged from Joseph Porretta Builders’ low bid of $213,000 to $454,800.

C&M Door Controls Inc. was awarded a $158,000 contract for the security vestibule construction project. The company was one of 10 bidders for the job. The bids ranged from $158,000 to $481,800.

The project calls for installing security vestibules at the Slackwood and Eldridge Park elementary schools, the Lawrence Intermediate School and the Lawrence Middle School.

Security vestibules, which are intended to control visitors’ access to a building, are already in place at the Lawrenceville and Ben Franklin elementary schools and at Lawrence High School.

All of the projects are expected to begin soon and will be completed by the summer of 2019, district administrators said. The board will go out to bid on a fourth project, installing new siding on the modular classroom buildings, as soon as possible.

Voters approved a $25.1 million bond referendum in January to pay for improvements at each of the seven schools in the district. Administrators said the state will pick up 40 percent of the tab for the new debt.
