Parkland board approves $49.81M high‑school bid package; two members oppose some alternates
Summary
The board voted to approve bid packages BP01–BP11 for the high‑school project at a total cost of $49,811,191, recording a 7–2 vote; two board members stated they opposed specific alternates, including an athletics‑lobby element.
The board approved the Facilities & Operations committee recommendation to execute high‑school bid packages BP01 through BP11 with selected alternates. The committee reported a total package cost of $49,811,191 and the board carried the motion after discussion; the meeting record shows seven votes in favor and two opposed.
The Facilities committee representative presented the cost figures to the board: “The total cost of the bid package is $49,811,191, which is $1,921,992 under the projected construction budget,” the representative said. Two board members prefaced their yes/no votes with reservations about particular alternates — one reiterated longstanding opposition to the Athletics lobby portion — but the motion passed by the recorded 7–2 tally. The board asked that final contractor schedules and start dates be provided to the Facilities committee and noted several follow‑up items would be handled in committee.
