Board approves contract amendments in executive session for Palmetto Early Childhood Center and May River playground
Summary
After an executive session Aug. 4, the Beaufort County board approved an amendment with McKnight Construction for the Palmetto Early Childhood Center (GMP $6,452,413.97) and an amendment with Thompson Turner for the May River Elementary playground (GMP $852,312); the board also approved a personnel ratification list.
Following a closed‑session discussion citing attorney‑client privilege and statutory exceptions, the Beaufort County Board of Education approved three motions announced in public session.
Secretary Vic Teney read motions on the floor: the board approved the superintendent's personnel ratification for July personnel actions; it approved Amendment #1 with McKnight Construction Company Inc. for the Palmetto Early Childhood Center early site package and earthquake drain scope with a guaranteed maximum price of $6,452,413.97; and it approved Amendment #10 with Thompson Turner Construction Inc. for the May River Elementary School playground with a guaranteed maximum price of $852,312.
One board member stated they would not support the personnel ratification motion after the executive session; the public record shows the motions carried and the contracts awarded as announced at the meeting. The board did not provide additional contract detail during the public minutes beyond the guaranteed maximum prices announced by the secretary.
