Chariton school board disqualifies low bidder, awards Middle School NW Corner contract to Joiner Construction
Summary
After a public hearing April 21, the Chariton Community School District board voted 5-0 to find apparent low bidder Graphite Construction not responsible and awarded the Middle School NW Corner Structural Remediation & Pavement Replacement Project contract to the second-lowest bidder, Joiner Construction.
The Chariton Community School District board voted unanimously April 21 to disqualify the apparent low bidder for the Middle School NW Corner Structural Remediation & Pavement Replacement Project and award the construction contract to the second-lowest bidder, Joiner Construction.
At a public hearing in the Administration Office Board Room, the board considered evidence about bidder responsibility. Board member Jarid Howell moved to find Graphite Construction not to be a responsible bidder and to award the contract to Joiner Construction; Sarah Willis seconded the motion and it carried 5-0. Earlier in the meeting the board also approved a related resolution adopting plans, specifications, the form of contract and an estimate of costs for the project (motion by Howell; second by Willis).
The board’s actions resolve the bidder-responsibility determination and the contract award; the transcript records the decision and the unanimous vote but does not detail the specific evidence presented at the hearing or the next administrative steps for contract execution. The hearing and votes were part of a special session held April 21, 2025.
