Council member asks staff to pursue MOU with MNPS on construction procurement
Summary
A council member asked staff to follow up with Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) about signing the MOU so MNPS procurement — especially for construction projects — can participate in board functions; MNPS had recently concluded a lawsuit and the council member offered to join follow-up discussions.
A council member asked for an update on the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Metro Nashville Public Schools and urged staff to schedule a follow-up meeting now that MNPS’s lawsuit has concluded and their procurement office may be ready to engage. The council member said the MOU was intended from the board’s formation so MNPS could participate in the board’s work on construction projects.
Board members clarified this conversation was focused on MNPS construction procurement, which operates separately from general procurement for consulting contracts. The council member offered to join follow-up discussions with Derek and Metro procurement staff to loop MNPS procurement into the process and finalize the MOU.
