Crosby ISD approves architects, contractors and facility projects including Red Barn and sixth‑grade campus
Loading...
Summary
Trustees approved multiple contracts for construction and facilities work — including architect selection for the Red Barn/CTE renovation, awarding the sixth‑grade campus contract to Gamma Construction, final payment to FieldTurf USA, sink installations at CMS, and approval of a TASB facility assessment — with motions carried unanimously on each item.
Crosby ISD’s board voted to advance several capital and facilities projects at its meeting, approving architectural and construction services, accepting a completed high‑school track project, and authorizing a comprehensive facility assessment.
On the Red Barn and former CTE space at Crosby Middle School, the board considered and approved architectural services. The agenda language and spoken motions contained inconsistent dollar figures for the architect engagement; the board approved the item as recorded in the meeting minutes and the chair announced the motion carried unanimously.
For the Crosby sixth‑grade campus project, trustees approved awarding CSP No. 2526‑0002 to Gamma Construction Company for an estimated $37,004,000 and delegated authority to the superintendent to negotiate and execute the contract.
The board accepted the Crosby High School track and field project and approved a final payment to FieldTurf USA in the amount recorded in the meeting as $68,176. Trustees also approved the installation of new sinks in the boys’ restrooms at Crosby Middle School by Way Engineering (recorded cost: $76,075.58), with clarifications that only the restrooms the district uses will receive the new fixtures.
District staff and TASB representatives presented a proposed TASB facility assessment, explaining the process would inventory roofing, foundations, HVAC, and life‑safety systems, and produce a facility condition index (FCI) normalized through RSMeans pricing for Harris County. The TASB presenter estimated field work would begin in late summer with a published report later in the year. Trustees approved the TASB assessment contract presented at $126,000.
Nicole Barrios of Stantec gave an update on the sixth‑grade campus, reporting the project remains under budget to date and is scheduled for substantial completion in May 2027. She also said administrative‑building design work encountered structural walls that required redesign but that adjustments increased some conference and community space.
Board members asked questions about scope and accessibility plan reviews for restroom projects and confirmed that the administration will continue to bring construction contracts through the standard bid and approval process.
The board approved these facilities and procurement items by recorded unanimous votes.
