Wimberley ISD Board OKs contractor ranking, delegates award authority for Blue Hole Primary site work

The Wimberley Independent School District Board of Trustees approved the ranking of Competitive Sealed Proposals for Bid Package 1 — the Blue Hole Primary School site and pavement project — and selected the highest-ranked proposer for contract award at its Jan. 12, 2026 meeting. The board also delegated authority to the superintendent or designee to negotiate and execute the contract consistent with board-approved budgets and procurement rules.

Andrea Justus moved the motion, which Will Conley seconded; the motion passed 6–0 with one trustee absent. The minutes record the formal motion language: "I move that the Board approve the ranking of the Competitive Sealed Proposals for Bid Package 1 (the Blue Hole Primary School Site & Pavement Project) as presented, select the highest-ranked proposer for contract award, and delegate authority to the Superintendent or designee to negotiate and execute the contract, consistent with Board-approved budgets and procurement requirements." The record does not include the name of the selected contractor or contract value.

The action was taken during the board's deliberative agenda after updates on the district's 2025 bond program. Meeting minutes indicate several bond projects are scheduled to begin construction in Spring 2026; overall program completion was reported as anticipated by Spring 2028. The board approved the procurement action consistent with those program timelines.

Board staff indicated the delegation is limited to execution consistent with existing budgets and procurement requirements; no additional amendments to the project budget were recorded in the minutes.
