Board authorizes advertisement for construction of new Oak Grove Middle School
Summary
The board voted to advertise procurement for a new Oak Grove Middle School facility; the motion passed unanimously with one member absent. The vote authorizes the district to proceed with public notice and bidding steps.
The Lamar County Board of Education voted to authorize advertisement for construction of a new Oak Grove Middle School facility, clearing the way for the district to solicit contractors and move the project into the public procurement phase.
The motion to advertise was made by Jared Slade and seconded by Shae Farmer and passed with Lance LeFan recorded as absent and Jordan Carlisle, Shae Farmer, Jennie Hensarling and Jared Slade recorded as yea. The board's action authorizes public notice and competitive bidding but does not approve a construction contract or a final project budget.
District staff did not present final contractor lists or a guaranteed maximum price at the meeting; the advertisement step establishes the procurement timeline and allows bidders to prepare responses. The board will review bids and any recommended contract award in a future public meeting.
The board placed this authorization on the record as part of routine business; next procedural steps are advertising, bid evaluation and recommended award to be brought back to the board for approval.
