Summary
The Provo City School Board voted Jan. 13 to surplus and authorize sale of a small parcel adjacent to Tempe View High School (including an easement) and to approve a guaranteed maximum price contract of $68,588,983 for Phase 2 of Tempe View construction. Both actions passed unanimously.
The Provo City School Board on Jan. 13 authorized the district to surplus and sell a parcel of land on the south side of the Tempe View High School campus and approved a guaranteed maximum price contract worth $68,588,983 to complete Phase 2 of the school’s construction.
During the business meeting, Business Administrator Devin Dailey described the parcel as less than one acre, contiguous to a residence property and adjacent to the school’s baseball field. Board members discussed protecting pedestrian access and directed staff to include an easement for the existing path in the sale language. "I move that we authorize the district to surplus the property by Tempe View High School and authorize the sale pending an offer, including an easement on the path according to law," a motion recorded on the agenda passed after a second and an affirmative vote.
Dailey then presented the guaranteed maximum price for Phase 2 of Tempe View’s construction. The board recorded the contract amount as $68,588,983. "The guaranteed maximum price for the next phase of Tempe View is $68,588,983," the district advised during the meeting. Board member Melanie Hall moved to approve the Phase 2 contract; Vice President Gina Hales seconded. Board members discussed prior study‑session review of subcontractor selection and cost controls before approving the contract unanimously.
Both items were finalized in open session: the parcel surplus and pending sale (with the easement requirement), and the Phase 2 construction contract. Board action authorizes staff to proceed with sale negotiations and contract execution consistent with applicable law and procurement procedures. The board then tabled two separate large purchase requests to a future meeting.
Next steps: District staff will proceed with sale negotiations and finalize contract documents for Tempe View Phase 2 per the approved GMP; the board will consider the previously tabled procurement items at a later date.
