Summary
The Rockingham County board approved MBP’s recommended design-build partner for Rieswey Elementary after a motion, with one member abstaining because of a conflict of interest. The recommendation and scoring presented by staff listed a first and second-ranked team.
The Rockingham County board approved a staff recommendation to select a design-build team for Rieswey Elementary after a short discussion and a voice vote.
Miss Young, the presenter, told the board that the project manager MBP had recommended Vannoy Construction in collaboration with Lehi (the transcript also lists a second choice, LaChase Construction with Clark Nexon) and showed scoring that favored the recommended team. "At your last board meeting, the project manager, the firm MBP, gave you a recommendation for Vannoy Construction in collaboration with Lehi," Miss Young said.
Board member Philip Butler moved to accept MBP’s recommendation; the motion was seconded and carried on a voice vote. A board member (speaker 5) said, "I just would like to, again, say I'm abstaining from that vote. I'd avoid any conflict of interest." The chair then called the voice vote and members responded "aye." The motion passed.
The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the public record here reflects a voice vote with one stated abstention. Miss Young noted the scoring presented by MBP (the first-ranked and second-ranked teams and the points allotted) during the presentation; specific dollar figures, contract terms and the department responsible for contract oversight were not specified on the record.
Next steps: Staff said they would proceed with the recommended procurement steps following board approval. The board moved on to its instructional supports report after the action.
