Weaver & Jacobs reports steady progress on Alice ISD stadium; turf contractor to mobilize soon
Summary
Weaver & Jacobs told the board the stadium press box structural steel is nearly finished, foundations and utility lines are advancing, and field‑turf installation is scheduled to begin; masonry/block supply delays may affect some building completion dates.
Tim Glizer, project manager for Weaver & Jacobs, presented the monthly construction update for the Alice ISD stadium project. "Structural steel is about 95% done on the press box," Glizer said, and noted plumbing roughs, exterior metal stud framing and pending masonry work across the buildings. He added that the field‑turf contractor is scheduled to mobilize to check grades and start underground turf systems work.
Glizer outlined progress on site utilities: fire and water lines are complete; storm lines are about 97% done and the team awaits final manholes before beginning sanitary sewer connections. He also described work on building foundations and rooftop supports at the field house and said the CPR‑1 demolition and asphalt removal are complete in the approved area.
The project manager flagged exterior block supply chain issues affecting the concession and storefront masonry. "We're waiting on block," he said, adding that crews will set a confirmed shipment date and reevaluate completion timelines once masonry materials arrive.
Board members asked several operational questions about locker‑room facilities and scheduling; Glizer said the game‑day locker rooms will include showers, training rooms and equipment cubbies. The update concluded with no formal vote required; the board will continue to receive monthly construction reports.
