Trustees review contractor selection for Building 4 renovation, depository award and bond financing intent; student insurance renewal noted
Summary
TOMBALL — Tomball ISD staff presented a Building 4 renovation contractor recommendation, an award of depository services, a student insurance renewal, and a financing-resolution item related to Bond 2025 during a workshop meeting.
TOMBALL — Tomball ISD staff presented several financial and facilities items during the workshop, including a recommended general contractor for a Building 4 renovation, an award of depository services, an insurance renewal, and a resolution to allow early use of bond-proceed funds.
Staff asked trustees to approve the selection of Eller Constructors, Inc. as the general contractor to renovate Building Number 4 with a construction budget of $2,526,800, a contingency of $300,000 and an overall project budget of $2,646,800 to be funded from Bond 2021 dollars. The scope was described as bringing the maintenance facility up to standards for the district’s maintenance staff. Trustees asked for the schematic and agreed staff would provide the floor plan and rubric that were in the board book and follow up with an emailed schematic.
Staff also described a recommended award of the district’s depository services RFP to Prosperity Bank for an initial contract period from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2027, with options for three additional two-year extensions. A trustee noted Prosperity Bank has a Houston headquarters.
The district announced the renewal of the student accident insurance (including catastrophic umbrella coverage) for Texas Kids First, with a total premium of $70,424 for the 2025–26 school year and a deductible of $2.50, which staff said remains the same as prior coverage. A board member commented that the district had moved from a $0 deductible to $2.50 in the past and emphasized concern that the deductible remain affordable for families.
Finally, staff presented “a resolution expressing intent to finance expenditures to be incurred for Bond 2025,” which staff said would allow the district to begin using bond proceeds as in prior bond cycles. Trustees asked for clarification on several items and staff said they would return supplemental materials and schematics in the regular meeting.
