The board approved extensive 2026-2027 transportation contract renewals with Rick Bus Company covering regular education routes, elementary and secondary runs, and multiple contract groupings. The total value across all Rick Bus contracts is listed as 2,338,532.56, with numerous individual routes detailed including CPI adjustments and per-route totals. This cements Rick Bus as the primary student transportation provider for core daily routes for another school year. While the main opportunity is decided, the detail provides strong incumbent pricing and scope intelligence that competitors can use when the next bid cycle opens, and it signals an ongoing, multi-million-dollar transportation spend that could support ancillary services (GPS/telematics, routing software, safety technology) that might be procured separately from the bus operator.
Contract Award
$2,338,532Jun 15, 2026At the May 13, 2026 Foundation Academies Board meeting, the trustees approved awarding the 2026-2027 food service management company contract to Nutri-Serve Food Management Inc. The total fee is listed as 1169060.09, with a flat management fee of 90000.00 and a guaranteed return of 50000.00. This decision establishes Nutri-Serve as the incumbent food service management provider for the upcoming school year, creating a multi-hundred-thousand dollar annual account. While the main award is decided, vendors in food service, kitchen equipment, POS/software, and nutrition compliance can still target follow-on needs such as equipment upgrades, menu planning tools, wellness programming, and support for Nutri-Serve’s on-site operations during the life of this contract and in anticipation of future rebids.
Contract Award
$1,169,060May 13, 2026The board previously awarded Vanas Construction Company a contract for the Gusz Building Addition, Renovation, and Site Improvements with an adjusted lump sum of 9950503.00. Due to unforeseeable physical conditions and minor scope modifications, the administration requested approval of Change Order #4, increasing the total contract to 10004715.00, which the board approved under N.J.A.C. 6A:26-4.9(a)1. This confirms that a major capital project is actively under construction at the John F. Gusz Administration Building. Construction and engineering vendors can view this as an ongoing project that may generate additional change orders, FF&E, IT/low-voltage, security systems, and commissioning or closeout support once the core building work is complete.

$10,004,715Jun 29, 2026The board approved both a capital reserve withdrawal and a construction bid award to upgrade the playground at Bear Tavern Elementary School with ADA-compliant equipment and related site work. They authorized withdrawing 300,024 from capital reserve into capital outlay and then awarded a 449,224 contract for "Playground Improvements @ Bear Tavern Elementary School (FVHD #5651)" to Z Tech Contracting, LLC. This confirms funding and vendor selection for a mid-sized capital project focused on inclusive play infrastructure, with design previously approved by NJDOE as part of the Long Range Facilities Plan. For vendors, this is mainly useful as incumbent intelligence on the GC and a signal the district is actively investing in accessibility upgrades, which may foreshadow similar projects at other schools. Follow-on opportunities could include supplemental play equipment, surfacing, shade structures, signage, or maintenance services coordinated with facilities and the architect (FVHD).
Contract Award
$449,224Jun 15, 2026To support Extended School Year (ESY) services in Summer 2026, the board approved a series of multi-route transportation contracts with several private bus and transport providers. Awards include RPM Transportation (8400.00), Emmanuel Transportation on two contracts (21000.00 and 45244.00), Rick Bus Company (34740.00), Sheppard Bus Service on two contracts (182120.00 and 18112.00), R & M Transportation (7200.00), T Parthenos Bus (6725.00), and Pharaoh Transportation (7200.00), all covering July–August 2026 routes for out-of-district placements. This indicates an ongoing reliance on contracted student transportation for special education ESY programs across multiple vendors. Transportation providers and routing/telematics software vendors can treat this as incumbent mapping and seasonal demand intelligence, positioning for future school-year or ESY bids and value-added services such as safety tech, GPS, and parent communication tools.
Contract Award
$335,741Jun 29, 2026The board renewed the A1 Limo contract (ATH11) for 2026-2027 to provide transportation for athletic events for Hopewell Valley Central High School and Timberlane Middle School. The renewal is the second and holds rates steady at 750.85 per bus trip for 5 hours of service, with 91.09 per hour beyond that, and an estimated annual cost of 285,000. This establishes A1 Limo as the athletics transportation provider for the upcoming year while revealing the district’s budget and pricing tolerance for activity runs. For vendors, this is valuable incumbent data and timing for planning to compete at the next cycle or to offer scheduling, dispatch, or cost-optimization solutions that can work in concert with the existing provider.
Contract Award
$285,000Jun 15, 2026The East Windsor Regional School District Board awarded competitive RFP 26-02 for therapeutic services to Thrive Alliance Group, selecting them over four other proposers based on technical, management, and cost scores. Thrive will provide two full‑time NJ-licensed clinicians working in person across district buildings, delivering individual, group, and family therapy, with a transition plan to be fully operational by the start of the 2026‑27 school year. The award amount is certified at 260000, with funding account and PO number still to be determined. This decision establishes Thrive as the incumbent mental health services provider and indicates a district‑wide investment in school‑based behavioral health. Vendors offering complementary services—such as digital mental health tools, training, data systems, or program evaluation—can position around supporting or integrating with Thrive’s model and the district’s expanded mental health infrastructure.
Contract Award
$260,000Jun 15, 2026The board awarded a one-year Plumbing Time and Materials bid to Robert Griggs Plumbing & Heating with an estimated value of 250,280 based on hourly labor and materials markups. Only one bid was received at a labor rate of 116 per hour (2,080 hours assumed) plus 50,000 in materials with an 18 percent markup. This effectively makes Robert Griggs Plumbing & Heating the primary provider for plumbing and heating maintenance and small projects across district facilities for the term. For vendors, this is useful intelligence on the incumbent mechanical service provider and the scale of annual spend, and it sets up potential future competition at rebid or complementary opportunities in HVAC controls, energy efficiency, or larger capital replacement projects that may sit outside this T&M scope.
Contract Award
$250,280Jun 15, 2026The Board approved a 4-year technology lease agreement with Lenovo Financial Services at an annual cost not to exceed 58,223.42. This likely covers student and/or staff devices or other instructional technology hardware financed over multiple years. This establishes Lenovo as the primary device leasing partner through the term of the agreement, signaling a sizable and recurring technology investment. Vendors can use this as insight into the district’s device ecosystem for offering accessories, device management, repair/support services, or planning for refresh and expansion as the lease progresses.
