Summary

After Patton & Hightower withdrew and donated about $6,400 in labor and materials, and Waggoner AC & Refrigeration donated the HVAC unit, the board approved a revised bid from East Texas Welding and Fencing for the Ag Washroom project; restrooms were excluded due to a $70,000 project budget.

Superintendent Lawrence Coleman told trustees that Patton & Hightower Construction removed themselves from the Ag Washroom project and donated approximately $6,400 in labor and materials. Coleman said Waggoner AC & Refrigeration is donating the requested HVAC unit, so the district asked bidders to revise proposals with the HVAC component removed.

Updated bids were received from East Texas Welding and Fencing, CE Marlar & Associates, and Clader Homes. After discussion, Trustee Matt Eastwood (Vice President) made a motion to accept the bid from East Texas Welding and Fencing; Trustee Chris Pratt seconded the motion and it was approved by the members present. Coleman noted current bids do not include restrooms because the project budget is set at $70,000.
