The Carter County Board unanimously voted to select Burleson Construction as project manager for the Hampton High School construction project, including athletic facilities such as bleachers.
Board members said the firm had completed recent local school work and that procurement policy and project timelines were key factors in the decision. The vote followed committee scoring of proposals and comments that Burleson had completed two recent "round up" school projects in the area and had worked on several district projects.
Tony Garland moved to select Burleson Construction; Keith Bowers seconded. A roll-call vote recorded yes votes from Renee Lewis, Tony Garland, Dylan Hill, Gary Oakes, Jeremiah Tolley, Danny Ward and Keith Bowers; the motion passed unanimously. The board did not state a dollar amount for the project manager role during the discussion.
Board members and staff emphasized adherence to the county's procurement policy and noted the project timeline as an important factor. A presenter said the selected company had worked with FEMA on prior projects; the transcript did not specify details of those FEMA engagements.
According to remarks in the meeting, staff will contact the selected firm to proceed and the firm is expected to be ready to start work soon. Contract terms, start date and any dollar amounts were not specified in the discussion and will be determined during follow-up steps.
