Board approves revised BG-1, Payment Application 17 and tennis-court bid documents for Sharp Middle School

The Pendleton County Board of Education on Aug. 18 approved three construction-related actions for Sharp Middle School: a revised BG-1 for BG #23-321, Payment Application No. 17 to Morel Construction, and bidding documents for a tennis-court addition. Superintendent Buerkley's recommendations were adopted in separate motions: Mr. Kevin Barnard moved approval of the revised BG-1 and Payment Application No. 17, each seconded by Mr. Derek Brown. Mrs. Amber Beebe moved approval of the tennis-court bidding documents, seconded by Mrs. Laura Schack. Each motion passed unanimously (Griffin-Yes; Schack-Yes; Barnard-Yes; Beebe-Yes; Brown-Yes). The board approved the revised BG-1 for project BG #23-321 and authorized payment for Payment Application No. 17 to Morel Construction as submitted. The board also approved the bidding documents to solicit contractors for the Sharp Middle School tennis-court addition. Why it matters: the approvals move forward the Sharp Middle School renovation and stadium project and permit payment to the general contractor and advertisement for a separate tennis-court contract. The district recorded no additional conditions or amendments to these approvals in the meeting minutes. No public discussion or recorded dissent on these items appears in the minutes; each was adopted through formal motion and vote.
