New Caney ISD board votes to terminate Gamma Construction contract and re-solicit work

The New Caney ISD Board of Trustees voted to terminate the districts contract with Gamma Construction Company for the new operations building and authorized the superintendent or the superintendents designee to notify the contractor and take related actions.

The motion, introduced by an agenda item discussed in closed session, was moved and seconded during the open meeting and carried after a voice vote. A board member said, "The motion is carried," following the response of "Aye" from members. The transcript records the motion being moved and seconded and notes there was no further discussion before the vote; the exact numeric tally was not provided in the public record.

Board members also asked for authorization to issue a new solicitation for the project "instead of competitive sealed proposals," consistent with the motion to rescind the prior award and re-solicit construction services. The boards action followed an executive-session discussion listed under the Texas Open Meetings Act provisions for personnel, security and real-property matters.

The superintendents office will notify Gamma Construction Company of the termination and proceed with the approved next steps to re-solicit proposals. The transcript does not include additional contract details (original contract value, award date beyond a prior meeting reference, or any dissenting votes); the board noted the rescission is to allow a new procurement process. The agenda reference to the prior award cites the boards October 20, 2025 meeting.

Next steps: staff were authorized to advertise or issue a new solicitation and to take necessary administrative actions; timing and procurement specifications were not specified in the public discussion.
