Summary
At its March 17 meeting, the Gregg County Commissioners Court approved awarding RFP 2026-2 for the new precinct 2 justice facility to Noble Construction, applying the county's local vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code 271.905; a court member announced an abstention before the approval.
Gregg County Commissioners Court on March 17, 2026 approved an award of RFP 2026-2 for the construction of a new precinct 2 justice facility to Noble Construction, applying local vendor preference under Texas Local Government Code 271.905.
County procurement staff reported the county received 10 responses to the solicitation and said Noble Construction, a vendor whose principal place of business is in Gregg County, submitted a responsive proposal that fell within the statutory percentage difference allowed for a local preference. The court approved the selection after a motion and second and a voice vote.
A court member announced they would abstain from debate and action on the award; the transcript does not identify which member made that statement. The procurement presentation recorded a contract figure with truncated digits in the transcript (appearing as "2,591,37"); the exact contract amount was not specified in the record provided.
The award referenced Texas Local Government Code 271.905 in support of applying a local vendor preference. Judge Bill Stout moved to approve the committee's recommendation and Commissioner Ringo seconded the motion, after which the court voted to approve the award.
Next steps: the court approved the award and the matter was closed on the record; the transcript does not show contract execution or an announced start date for construction.
