College Station ISD board approves nearly $96 million in construction guarantees, OKs track repairs

College Station Independent School District trustees on March 18 approved two guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contracts totaling $95,729,523 for school construction and authorized a separate $152,835 repair project at A&M Consolidated High School, voting 5-0 on each item.

The actions authorize a $38,878,808 GMP for additions and renovations at A&M Consolidated High School and a $56,850,715 GMP covering work at College Station High School and Rock Prairie Elementary. The board also approved track repairs at A&M Consolidated High School with a project cost of $152,835 that includes a $14,000 contingency. The motions included authorization for the superintendent to serve as the district representative and to execute agreements where specified.

Why it matters: the approvals put major pieces of the district's 2023 bond program into contract and allow construction teams to begin work this spring. The board and staff said combining some projects and advancing work now reduced schedule time and guarded against future inflation.
