Board approves $14.99 million guaranteed maximum price for Southwest Legacy High School addition
Summary
The Southwest ISD Board approved Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) package 2 for the Southwest Legacy High School addition, finalizing major project financing and adding roughly $1 million in district-driven scope for control-system replacements.
The SOUTHWEST ISD Board of Trustees approved Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) package 2 of $14,986,124 for the Southwest Legacy High School addition project during a special meeting called to order at about 11:30 a.m.
District project staff said the board previously approved GMP 1 for site work (about $892,000). District staff also said the district added about $1 million of scope for replacement of building controls, which increased the overall project budget. Staff asked the board to approve GMP package 2 to finalize pricing and allow construction to proceed.
A board member moved approval and another member seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote with all members saying “aye.” The district presentation said the project team reviewed subcontractor bids with the architect and procurement staff before recommending the GMP.
Board members asked no follow-up questions during the vote. District staff indicated the GMPs complete the major project procurement steps and will allow construction to start.
No specific contract number, ordinance, or further schedule details were provided in the record beyond the dollar amounts presented and the note that the subcommittee reviewed the scope additions.
