Lauderdale County board pulls LCHS fieldhouse bid, votes to rebid
Summary
The Lauderdale County Schools board pulled the award for a proposed Lauderdale County High School fieldhouse after reading multiple bids, moved into executive session, and unanimously voted to re-bid the project; Roberts Builders had been listed as the lowest bidder at $2,059,000.00.
The Lauderdale County Schools Board of Education voted May 7, 2026, to pull the agenda item awarding the bid for a new Lauderdale County High School (LCHS) fieldhouse and to re-bid the project.
The board read multiple bids for the project, including Roberts Builders ($2,059,000.00, identified in the packet as the lowest bidder to be considered), Carbine Construction ($2,086,500.00 final bid), Brad Slater Construction ($2,184,200.00), Butler Construction ($2,268,500.00) and several others. The item was removed from the consent agenda for separate discussion and taken into executive session; the record states the award on Item B was not approved at that time and the board authorized a re-bid.
Board President Ronnie Owens and board members Charlotte Hill, B.J. Tully and Randy Burns cast unanimous votes on the procedural motions recorded in the minutes. During the public-comment portion limited to agenda items, an owner from Carbine Construction Company spoke; the transcript does not include that speaker’s personal name.
The board’s action leaves the fieldhouse procurement open for a new solicitation. The minutes show the rebid was approved as a follow-up consent item during the same meeting. The next scheduled board meeting is May 14, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., where any further procurement steps or revised timelines are likely to appear on the agenda.
