Wink-Loving ISD approves design-build delivery and selects OCB Architecture and Madewell Construction for housing project
Summary
The board approved a design/build approach and authorized the superintendent to negotiate contracts with OCB Architecture (O'Jay Barbee) and Madewell Construction Company to deliver the district's housing project after soliciting bids and interviewing two firms.
Wink-Loving ISD trustees voted unanimously May 19 to approve a design-build delivery method for the district's proposed housing project and to authorize the superintendent to negotiate contracts with the recommended firms.
According to the agenda packet, the district advertised for bids and received two proposals, interviewing both on April 29. The administration recommended OCB Architecture (O'Jay Barbee, Registered Texas Architect #25514) and Madewell Construction Company as the design/build team. Trustee Raymond Dodd moved to approve the recommended delivery method and firms and to authorize the superintendent to execute necessary procurement documents; the motion was seconded by Trustee Carrie Purcell and "passed with a unanimous vote." The board noted their attorney had recommended a design/build approach.
Administrators also reported strong interest earnings in the M&O account (~$800,000 per month since February), which the packet cited as context for project financing considerations. The motion authorizes the superintendent to negotiate contracts; specific contract values, scopes, and a construction timeline were not presented at the public meeting.
