Tomball ISD approves $1.3M turf and track replacement contract for Tomball High
Summary
The board awarded a contract to Helis Construction to replace Tomball High's artificial turf and track, approving a contract of $1,185,875 and a total construction budget of $1.3 million funded by 2025 bond proceeds; trustees discussed heat-management infill options and praised staff memo on product selection.
On April 14 the Tomball ISD Board of Trustees approved a contract to Helis Construction (board contract 737-24) to replace the artificial turf and track at Tomball High School. The contract award is $1,185,875 and the board-recorded total construction budget is $1,300,000, with funding from 2025 bond proceeds.
Trustees discussed features of the recommended alternative and asked whether the contract includes an Alternative 1C infill product intended to reduce surface heat. The board heard that the infill is intended to help address heat concerns on turf and that backup materials prepared by staff, including a memo from Chris Scott, documented diligence and vendor experience.
A trustee noted family members' recent experience at Tomball High's track and welcomed the planned work. The motion to award the contract was seconded and carried unanimously.
Board materials in the record show the vendor selection and budget figures; trustees did not provide additional contract-change details on the public record.
