Board renews engineering contracts for bond projects with McAdams and ETL Engineers
Summary
The board approved five‑year professional services contracts with McAdams (civil engineering) and ETL Engineers & Consultants (geotechnical) to support 2025 bond projects; work orders were described with estimated costs (ETL ~$42,440.40; McAdams ~$51,000).
The Greenville ISD board approved renewal of professional services contracts for bond‑related construction with two engineering firms: McAdams (civil engineering) and ETL Engineers & Consultants (geotechnical and materials testing).
Staff said both firms had originally been selected as most‑qualified in 2021 and that contracts were rewritten under the district’s new law firm to update terms. The staff presentation included specific work orders for geotechnical sampling and testing at Lamar, Carver and the early childhood center; staff gave an ETL total of approximately $42,440.40 for the listed tasks. McAdams work orders were listed with a combined total of about $51,000; staff explained the Lamar site has more underground/logistical complexities and will require additional work.
The board moved to approve each professional services contract and authorized the superintendent to execute the agreements; both motions were approved by voice vote recorded as unanimous ('Motion passes 70'). Staff noted these costs are within expected ranges for design and geotechnical work on new construction and renovation projects funded by the district’s bond program.
Board members did not request separate competitive solicitation given these firms’ ongoing role in the district’s bond program and the multi‑year continuity benefit to ongoing projects.
