Summary

Trustees approved awarding the RFQ for geotechnical services, construction materials testing and inspection for a performing arts center at Veterans Memorial Academy to Terracon after a closed-session review of qualifications.

The San Benito CISD Board of Trustees approved awarding a qualifications-based contract to Terracon for geotechnical services, construction materials testing and inspection for a performing arts center at Veterans Memorial Academy.

The item, listed on the agenda as RFQ 0925 for geotechnical services, construction materials testing, and inspection services for the performing arts center at San Benito Veterans Memorial Academy, was discussed and moved into closed session under the Texas Government Code. After returning to open session, a trustee moved to award Terracon “based on qualifications submitted,” and the board voted to approve the award.

The board announced it moved into closed session citing Texas Government Code sections 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and 551.074 (personnel matters) before resuming the public meeting and taking the award vote. The open-session motion to award Terracon was approved by voice vote; the transcript records the motion and a recorded confirmation, but does not list a roll-call tally.

The contract award is for professional geotechnical and construction materials services tied to the district’s performing arts center project at Veterans Memorial Academy. The board did not state the contract dollar amount in open session during the meeting record.
