GUNTER ISD to move forward with $3.145 million turf and field project
Summary
Trustees agreed to move forward with a turf and field project for baseball, softball and football at a cost presented as $3,145,000 using remaining bond funds. The facilities committee ranked projects and staff shared expected benefits for playability and hosting events.
The board considered and moved to advance a turf field and related athletic site work from remaining bond funds, with staff presenting a project price of $3,145,000.
Staff explained the facilities committee had ranked remaining bond projects and the turf/field package (including upgrades to baseball, softball and the football field) was among the prioritized items. The presenter said the projects would improve playability, reduce rainouts and allow the district to host tournaments. When asked about related items such as backstop netting, staff clarified some items would be priced separately (the backstop/netting was quoted separately at a lower amount).
After discussion, a trustee moved to accept the scope of work from the contractor and proceed. The motion advanced to a vote as presented in the meeting packet. Trustees did not amend the scope at the meeting; staff said detailed budget and scope sheets are in the board book for follow-up.
