Board votes to postpone award of district legal-services contract until June meeting
Summary
Procurement staff recommended awarding RFP 25-029 for legal services to Parker Poe Adams Bernstein LLP at $350 per hour, but the board voted 7-1 to postpone consideration to the June meeting to allow more time for review.
The Procurement Department recommended awarding RFP 25-029 for legal services to Parker Poe Adams Bernstein LLP (referred to at times in the presentation as Parker Poe) after scoring respondents. The recommended firm was listed with an hourly rate of $350.
Board action and reason for delay
During the committee presentation, a board member moved to postpone the award until the June board meeting, stating that the materials had been provided "roughly about 2 hours before our board meeting" and members needed time to review. Another board member seconded the motion. The board voted 7-1 in favor of postponement and the item will not be sent to the consent agenda.
Next steps
District procurement will return the RFP award recommendation to the June meeting for further consideration after giving board members additional time to review the proposal materials and scoring information.
