Eufaula Public Schools board accepts lowest GMP 1 bids for high school event center and cafeteria enlargement
Summary
At a Nov. 20 special meeting the Eufaula Public Schools board unanimously accepted the lowest responsible GMP 1 bids for a new high school event center and an enlargement of the high school cafeteria and directed staff to return with GMP 2 bids for final pricing and scope.
The Eufaula Public Schools board unanimously voted Thursday, Nov. 20, 2025, to accept the lowest responsible guaranteed maximum price (GMP) 1 bids for construction of a high school event center and enlargement of the high school cafeteria. Board member Jeff Pippenger made the motion, and board member Kenny Bumgarner seconded it.
The vote, held at a special meeting at the district administration office beginning at 1:00 p.m., passed 5–0. The board recorded the roll-call yes votes of Martha Asher, Kenny Bumgarner, Braddock Dobbs, Michael Morton and Jeff Pippenger. The motion directed district staff to return with GMP 2 bids for the event center and cafeteria enlargement; final GMP 2 pricing and any contract awards were not decided at the meeting.
The action authorizes moving forward under the approved GMP 1 scope and budget-setting steps but does not constitute final contract approval. The board did not specify funding sources, contract award amounts, or an expected timeline for the GMP 2 submittal during the session. Those details were not included in the meeting record.
Next steps: staff is to prepare and present GMP 2 bids for the board’s consideration at a future meeting. The special meeting adjourned at 1:29 p.m.
