Secretary Hargett moves to select designers for five state projects
Summary
Secretary Hargett moved to select designers for five state facility projects, naming firms for classroom upgrades, an ice storage system, a student center update, a theater renovation, and wastewater upgrades in East Tennessee; the transcript records the motion but does not document a subsequent vote.
Secretary Hargett moved the committee to select designers for five state projects, listing the project names and recommended firms during the executive subcommittee meeting. He said: "Item number 1, University of Knoxville classroom upgrades, 25 26 studio 4 design, a Michael Graves company," and then named four additional projects and their recommended firms.
The five items Secretary Hargett listed were: (1) University of Knoxville classroom upgrades — Michael Graves Company; (2) University of Tennessee Knoxville campus ice storage system — Rose Engineering Inc.; (3) Jackson State Community College student center updates — Urban Arch Associates PC; (4) Southwest Tennessee Community College theater renovation — Tucker Architects Inc.; and (5) Region 1, East Tennessee, Cott County Welcome Center wastewater system upgrades — McGill Associates PA Inc. Hargett said these recommendations consider procurement agency guidance, geographic preference, work capacity and prior state work.
The transcript records Secretary Hargett stating the motion but does not record a recorded vote or voice vote count for the designer selections in the available segments. Because the motion is recorded in the transcript, the selections are noted as a formal motion; the transcript does not show the committee taking a roll-call or voice vote on that motion within the recorded segments.
