Wink-Loving ISD board approves GMP for football pavilion, orders bullet-resistant glass for schools

The Wink-Loving Independent School District Board of Trustees unanimously approved a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) for a bond-funded football pavilion and for bullet-resistant glass installations at the elementary and junior/senior high during its Jan. 6 special meeting.

The district listed Tienert Construction as the construction manager-at-risk; the project team and WRA reviewed subcontractor bids and the scope of work. The board packet and background note that the construction budget is funded from dedicated 2025 bond funds. "I move that the Board Approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for the Football Pavillion and Bullet Resistant Glass for Elementary and JH/HS as presented," Trustee Jerome Dewberry said when making the motion; Trustee Carrie Purcell seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

The board record does not list a contract amount in the minutes beyond the GMP recommendation and does not show any roll-call per-member vote; the motion was recorded as unanimous. District staff present for the meeting included Superintendent Scotty Carman and Business Manager Geanna Coker, who appear in the minutes as administrative contacts for project oversight. The next procedural step in the minutes is approval of the GMP and execution of related contract documents as allowed by the construction-manager agreement and bond funding authorizations.

The meeting listed the projects under the district's 2025 bond program; the minutes do not record public comment or debate on cost details, subcontractor identities, or timing beyond the board's motion to approve.
