The Jennings County School Board unanimously approved a $300,398 contract with Royalty Roofing for the Sand Creek Elementary roof project after hearing from a company representative. The contractor described a local crew and national commercial experience; the motion passed 7-0.
The Jennings County School Board unanimously approved a $300,398 contract Tuesday to replace the roof at Sand Creek Elementary, awarding the low bid to Royalty Roofing.
A company representative who identified himself in the record as both "George Manson" and later as "George Vance" told the board his firm has been in business since 1986 and operates multiple commercial roofing crews, including 16 crews based in Seymour. "We actually do Auto Zones, O'Reilly's, Cracker Barrel, Pilots," he said, adding that his crews are familiar with the Sand Creek project and ready to begin work. Board members commented that hiring a local firm was beneficial to the community.
The award followed a formal motion and second and passed by voice vote recorded as seven in favor and none opposed. After the vote, the contractor thanked the board and said the company would coordinate next steps.
The contract approval concludes the procurement step; the board did not discuss construction start dates in the public record. Specific contract terms beyond the award amount and bidder name were not specified in the meeting discussion.
