Brookshire approves DRC kitchen remodel proposal within FY26 budget
Summary
Council approved the preferred facilities group/Bob Ward JOC proposal for the disaster recovery center (DRC) kitchen remodel; staff said the revised proposal now includes sheetrock and fits the FY2026 budget, authorizing staff to proceed.
Council considered two proposals for the Disaster Recovery Center (DRC) kitchen remodel. Staff told the council that an initial proposal lacked sheetrock but a revised bid came back within the FY2026 budget and now includes sheetrock. A motion to approve the DRC kitchen remodel for the preferred facilities group and a Bob Ward JOC company and to authorize staff to proceed with the project passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: the DRC is intended to provide shelter and services during emergencies; finishing the kitchen and connecting gas (the last piece) were discussed as steps to make the facility fully operational in disaster scenarios.
What the record shows: staff briefly summarized the bids and the budget alignment; council approved authorization for staff to proceed with the selected contractor. No contract amount was read into the record during the meeting; the motion authorized staff to implement the project as outlined in the proposal packet.
