The Fayetteville Board of Education voted unanimously to authorize Superintendent Mr. Jones to sign a $13,064,865 contract with Century Construction to build a new safe-room facility.
Board members heard a facilities presentation that included a detailed funding breakdown: FEMA funds of $11,536,000; TEA funds of $640,940; and a local district contribution of $2,442,259. The proposal included five build alternates the committee recommended proceeding with; the board approved contracting and moved the project forward.
Committee materials and a prior board work session were reviewed in advance of the vote. The board speaker said FEMA’s portion covers the bulk of the project, with the district contributing the local share to complete planned finishes, including a gym space inside the facility.
The motion to authorize the superintendent to execute the contract was made, seconded and approved by voice vote. Board members indicated they expected the project to move quickly now that bids are awarded and funding is in place.
The contract award and funding sources were presented as the basis for the board’s authorization; the board did not set an explicit project start date at the meeting.
