Bond 2022 update: Rockport‑Fulton High School nearing substantial completion; temporary occupancy targeted early July
Summary
Teal Construction and Claycomb told the Rockport‑Fulton ISD board that major work at the new high school is largely complete, with storefronts and roofing mostly in place and a target for temporary occupancy in early July; final certificate of occupancy depends on resolution of an emergency radio responder system and remaining punch‑list work.
Contractors from Teal Construction and Claycomb briefed the Rockport‑Fulton ISD board on Bond 2022 projects, reporting steady progress at Rockport Fulton High School and punch‑list progress at Fulton Elementary.
The construction team said the district has authorized $38.16 million of a $39.24 million budget for the high‑school project and described a push toward substantial completion in July 2026. Justin Mcome (project representative) said key recent completions include installation and assembly of the weight room equipment, storefront glazing on exterior walls and roofing that is about 95% dried in. The team said they were aiming to turn portions of the building over by July 3–4 for temporary occupancy, subject to city inspections and coordination around systems.
Contractors emphasized that the final certificate of occupancy depends on completing and testing an emergency radio responder (booster) system to ensure first‑responder radios function throughout the building. Justin said crews must complete interior finish work, ceilings and floors and address punch‑list items; crews plan to use the district’s short summer window to finish offices and classrooms so staff can be ready before the new school year.
Board members asked whether the July occupancy target represents full final completion. Contractors replied the July dates aim for substantial completion and temporary occupancy pending punch‑list resolution; the radio system frequency coordination with local jurisdictions is the remaining hurdle for a final certificate of occupancy.
Fulton Elementary remains under final punch‑list review and contract closeout (warranties and manuals), with contractors working through district comments before final acceptance.
