Summary
The Hickman County Board of Education approved awarding a $580,000 bid for a career and technical education (CTE) building at East High School to Fellowship Construction after architects vetted the low bidder; the vote was unanimous.
The Hickman County Board of Education voted unanimously to award the construction contract for a career and technical education building at East High School to Fellowship Construction for $580,000.
Board members said architects reviewed the low bidder after a $313,000 gap appeared between the low and high bids. The architects told the board their questions were answered and recommended the low bidder. The board then moved to approve the bid and took a roll-call vote that passed 7-0.
The architects had confirmed that the low bidder met specification requirements and responded to questions raised during the post-bid review. Board discussion noted the local status of Fellowship Construction and described awarding the contract to a local contractor as a positive outcome for the community. The board asked for and received confirmation from staff that the architects had checked the low bidder’s answers.
The board recorded a roll-call vote in which members present voted yes; the clerk read the names during the roll call.
No start date, contract documents, change-order allowances, or construction timeline were announced during the meeting. The board did not discuss financing or contingency funding for the project during the public portion of the meeting.
The board will move forward with contract execution consistent with the architects’ recommendation.
