Lebanon board awards $789,298 contract to pave connector road; member abstains
Summary
The Lebanon Community School Corp. board approved a $789,298 contract with EMD Paving to complete a connector road supporting the campus master plan and approved related construction‑management services; one board member abstained, citing a family connection to the company.
The Lebanon Community School Corp. board voted April 21 to award a $789,298 contract to EMD Paving to complete a connector road linking the district transportation area through to Grant Street, a project officials said will improve campus connectivity for the campuswide master plan.
The board’s staff said four bids were received and that the low, responsive bid came from EMD Paving. A board member announced they would abstain from the vote because a family member works for the company; the motion to award the contract was approved by the board. The transcript does not identify the abstaining member by name.
The board also approved construction‑management services for the connector road. District staff said the project will be overseen by CM staff already assigned to middle‑school work to avoid duplicative staffing and that the CM fee for general conditions, coordination and liability insurance is $48,921.
Board members approved related change orders and a separate resolution tied to the campus master plan (exhibits A and B) that district staff described as “final cleanup” legal steps needed to advance a new lease and project work.
A business official presented routine financial documents earlier in the meeting, including a 10‑year cash‑flow projection and claims and payroll for the period; the board approved those items as part of the consent agenda.
What’s next: staff said bid documents and contract paperwork will be completed following the board’s vote, and the district will bring recommendations and timelines for project execution back to a future board meeting.
