Perryton ISD board approves $6.427 million Phase 1 budget for high school renovation
Summary
Trustees approved the Phase 1 renovation budget for Perryton High School, including options on flooring, windows and infrastructure, with a $100,000 contingency and a motion reserving the right to revisit select line items.
PERRYTON, Texas — The Perryton ISD Board of Trustees approved a $6.427 million Phase 1 budget for Perryton High School’s renovation after a detailed presentation by district builders and a discussion of optional finishes and scope choices.
Speaker 2 introduced builders Greg and Pete to walk trustees through Phase 1 scope, which includes substantial masonry work, flooring choices, upgrade of mechanical/electrical/plumbing systems and site utilities. The base estimate for the selected options totaled about $6.327 million; adding the board-recommended $100,000 contingency brought the total to $6.427 million.
Trustees examined finish choices such as VCT (vinyl composition tile) versus terrazzo (an add of roughly $117,000 in one hallway), the lifespan and warranty implications of BCT flooring, and possible LVT alternatives. Several board members emphasized balancing long-term durability and upfront cost. “I’d like to be able to get some data,” Speaker 1 said when asked about alternate flooring samples; the board asked staff to bring samples and cost comparisons for further review.
Other options discussed included adding high windows for interior classrooms, gates that integrate with the fire alarm system, additional cameras and minor HVAC refinements. Builders reported the Phase 1 area represents a large portion of the overall high-school square footage and highlighted that some elements (for example, certain restrooms) were moved to Phase 2 design to control Phase 1 costs.
Trustees moved, seconded and approved the Phase 1 budget as presented, with an explicit reservation to revisit select items (notably flooring options) after staff returns with material samples and cost validation. The motion carried unanimously, and staff will schedule follow-up review of line-item 1 and the proposed finish samples.
Next steps: staff and contractors will proceed with procurement in accordance with the approved budget, bring back material samples and any required clarifications before finalizing long-lead purchases.
