Hermiston board awards Fieldstone 2 construction contract to Watts Construction
Summary
The Hermiston School District board voted to award the Fieldstone 2 contract to Watts Construction and authorized the superintendent to finalize the contract; the motion passed during the Feb. 10 meeting.
The Hermiston School District board voted on Feb. 10 to award the Fieldstone 2 construction contract to Watts Construction and authorized the superintendent to finalize and sign the contract when details are complete.
The district staff reported that the bid opening occurred as scheduled and recommended Watts Construction as the selected contractor for Fieldstone 2 (the second cul‑de‑sac in the student‑built homes project). A board member moved to accept the recommendation and to authorize the superintendent to finalize the contract; another board member seconded the motion. The board voted in favor; no opposing votes were recorded.
Why it matters: the Fieldstone 2 contract advances a district construction phase tied to student-built homes (Fieldstone project). Awarding the contract allows staff to finalize procurement and begin the construction phase under the selected contractor.
Details: the board recorded the motion and second; the vote was conducted by hand/voice and the chair announced the motion carried. The contract value and detailed scope were not read into the public record during the motion and were not specified in the publicly available minutes for Feb. 10. The superintendent was authorized to approve and finalize the contract documents with Watts Construction.
Next steps: district staff will finalize contract language and return to the board or file appropriate contract documentation in district procurement records; the public record of the Feb. 10 meeting shows the board’s authorization to proceed.
