Chilton County Schools board approves construction bids, contingent property sale and CSFO contract amendment
Summary
Trustees awarded two renovation contracts, approved sale of district property contingent on the buyer's pending sale, accepted a 10-acre deed for a career-tech site partnership and approved an amendment to the CSFO contract.
The Chilton County Schools Board of Education voted to award construction renovation contracts for Isabella High School and Chilton County High School, approved a contingent sale of district property, and authorized amendments to the district chief school finance officer's contract.
Trustees awarded the Isabella High School renovation contract to CT General Contractors LLC and the Chilton County High School renovation contract to Dwayne Davis Construction after motions and seconds. Both motions carried by show of hands.
Board members also approved accepting an offer to sell one district property at the listed price; the sale is contingent on the buyer selling their own property, which the transcript notes is scheduled to close on Sept. 19, 2025. The superintendent said the district previously discussed three listed properties and received the offer within an hour after the work session ended.
During discussion trustees announced the district has secured property for a new career-technical center through a partnership with Jeff State. The superintendent said Jeff State's board approved deeding 10 acres to the district at no cost; the district expects to share closing costs. The board was told the site is on Highway 145 where Jeff State currently parks equipment for training.
Officials said design meetings are scheduled and the district aims to have documents through the Division of Construction Management (DCM) process by November and to put the project out to bid thereafter. Construction on the new career-tech center was described in the meeting as likely to take about 16 months once started; a separate classroom project at Thorsby was described as more complicated with an 18-month timeline.
The board also approved amendments to the chief school finance officer's contract by motion; the motion carried.
