Board accepts procurement recommendation for Rieseau Elementary design‑build team
Summary
The Rockingham County board heard a staff recommendation and moved to accept MBP's procurement ranking, authorizing the recommended design‑build team (Vinoj Construction with LS3P) for Rieseau Elementary; one member abstained citing a conflict of interest.
Miss Young presented the procurement committee's recommendation for the Rieseau Elementary project, saying MBP ranked Vinoj Construction with LS3P highest and LaChase Construction with Clark Nexon second. A board member moved to accept MBP's recommendation and hire the recommended design‑build team for Rieseau Elementary; another member seconded the motion. One member announced an abstention, citing a conflict of interest. The chair called for the ayes and the motion carried by voice vote.
The presentation noted MBP awarded 75 points to the recommended team and 71 to the second choice. Miss Young asked whether board members who had toured schools built by the finalist firms had any questions; none were raised during deliberations. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the public discussion beyond the oral ayes and the stated abstention.
The decision advances procurement for the Rieseau Elementary capital project to the next administrative step; Miss Young said staff will follow up with contract and scope documents for later review and execution.
