Board approves LED lighting, track resurfacing, fencing and staff‑technology purchases
Summary
Trustees authorized solicitation and purchase actions for LED stadium lighting/track resurfacing at two middle schools, non-scalable ornamental fencing replacements to meet safety standards (cost not to exceed $515,000), and a staff device refresh (up to $170,000); many projects will be funded from the 2015 bond program and a TEA Safe Cycle 1 grant.
Administration asked trustees to approve solicitations and purchases for several summer facility and security improvements using cooperative purchasing and bond funds. The items included track resurfacing ($333,825 estimate for both JW Williams and Kane Middle School), LED stadium lighting upgrades ($323,900 estimate) and associated contingency, plus ornamental non-scalable fencing replacements at both middle‑school stadiums (not to exceed $515,000) funded by the TEA Safe Cycle 1 grant.
In addition, the board approved a staff-technology refresh request not to exceed $170,000 from the district general operating fund. The administration recommended the procurements to standardize facilities across campuses and meet state safety standards; motions to approve these solicitations and purchases passed by voice vote.
