When Joseph Pasquerilla argued that Dean’s Dairy Products Co. should get Brookfield Local School District’s milk contract, he had not seen the bids tendered by Dean’s and Turner Dairy Farms Inc.

Now that he has obtained the milk bids and the district’s beverage consumption rates, he can make a financial argument in favor of Dean’s. Pasquerilla said he will make a motion at the next meeting to rescind the milk contract awarded June 18 by the school board to Turner.

He said he has no idea if any other board members will support him, and it is not clear if the board can rescind the awarding.

Board President Tim Filipovich said he has received the bids and called the differences between them “negligible.”

“I’m not going to be a party to bring it forward,” he said, but added that, if enough board members want to make a change, or if Superintendent Stephen A. Stohla changes his recommendation, he’ll be open to discussion.

The board awarded the contract to Turner, of Penn Hills, Pa., based on the recommendation of Stohla, Treasurer David Drawl and Cafeteria Supervisor Donna Hailey.

Stohla, who is leaving the district, said he did not look at the bids closely, only for the most consumed items, and saw that Dean’s of South Pymatuning Township had better prices on white and chocolate and Turner had better prices on strawberry and vanilla milk. Stohla said he did not have exact consumption figures before the meeting.

At the board meeting, Stohla told the board Turner had better prices on strawberry and chocolate milk, and that more of those varieties are sold than white milk.

“The superintendent clearly made a mistake,” Pasquerilla said.

The district sells more half pints of 1-percent chocolate milk than anything else, 109,450 of the 180,655 milk, juice and yogurt units sold in the past year.

Two-percent white milk is the next biggest seller, 33,377 units, followed by 1-percent strawberry milk, 11,591 units, and 1-percent vanilla milk, 8,359 units, all half pints.

The bids on those items came in this way:

ä Chocolate — Dean’s, 18.3 cents; Turner, 21 cents.

ä White — Dean’s, 17.8 cents; Turner, 20è cents.

ä Strawberry — Turner, 21 cents; Deans, 23.3 cents.
