Summary

The board approved an RFQ to select two building-envelope consultants and ratified bids: CE Born & Company for Whitesville Elementary roof replacement ($1,113,750) and J Musselman Construction for Saint Stephen car-loop extension ($430,442); procurement process and start timelines were discussed.

The Berkeley County Board of Education approved several capital procurement actions Dec. 15, ratifying committee recommendations for consultant pre-qualification and construction awards.

The board approved the recommendation from the capital planning committee to award RFQ 7462526 for roof design and building-envelope consulting services to two firms (Building Envelope Enclosure Group and WM Building Envelope Consultants) as the two highest-ranked proposers; those firms will be pre-qualified to bid on district projects as individual contracts arise.

The board also approved IFB 07/2006 for Whitesville Elementary School selective roof replacement/repair, awarding the contract to CE Born & Company Inc. for a total of $1,113,750, which included the base bid and two alternates. Committee materials indicated four bids were received and CE Born was the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.

For Saint Stephen Elementary School, IFB 7522526 (car-loop extension) received one bid and the board approved Jay Musselman Construction (transcribed in the meeting as J Musselman) at $430,442; the board’s approval was contingent upon the expiration of any applicable protest period.

Committee members and board members asked about consultant fee transparency and a desire for running project totals so the board could see an aggregated cost for a project (consulting + construction). Administration said consulting selections were made via RFQ/qualification and that construction costs will be presented when bids are received; start dates were described as awaiting contractor schedules but likely after the new year and planned as after‑hours work when schools are in session.
