Summary
Trustees approved negotiating with the top-ranked proposer for RFP/CSP 25-26.015 (Brandenburg renovations). Staff said Sataco Incorporated ranked first and submitted a proposal more than $1.5 million under estimate; board approved moving to negotiation 5–0.
The Duncanville ISD board on Dec. 15 moved to negotiate an agreement with the top-ranked proposer for renovation work at Brandenburg as part of the district's Bond 2023 construction program.
Ms. Zamora reported the district published RFP/CSP 25-26.015 and received eight proposals. After district evaluation, Sataco Incorporated ranked first based on price, references and prior experience with the district; Ms. Zamora said Sataco's proposal came in more than $1.5 million below the project's estimated renovation budget. She noted one firm (Integrity/Integrity Contractors) submitted the lowest base price but scored lower in references and owner experience, which affected overall rankings.
Trustees asked for clarification on scoring differences between price and reference evaluations; Ms. Zamora said references and prior owner experience were main differentiators in the evaluation matrix. The board voted to authorize negotiations and to move forward with the recommended contractor (motion carried 5–0).
Ms. Zamora and construction partners also provided updates on other bond projects during the meeting, noting asbestos abatement and roofing progress at several campuses and a projected peak in construction activity in mid-2026.
