Waco ISD trustees approve selection of highest-ranked bidder for South Waco Elementary roof
Summary
At a March 24 special meeting the Waco Independent School District Board approved selecting the highest-ranked proposer for Bid Item #2 (South Waco Elementary re-roof) and authorized the superintendent to negotiate and execute a contract; the motion passed unanimously (6-0).
The Waco Independent School District Board of Trustees voted March 24 to approve the selection of the highest-ranked proposer for Bid Item #2, the turn-key re-roofing project at South Waco Elementary School, and authorized the superintendent to negotiate and execute a contract.
Board President Jose Vidana called the special meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. and confirmed that notice had been posted in accordance with the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 551). During the public-comment period, Wendell Lewis of Johnson Roofing asked the Board to "proceed using the scoring system that was in place at the time of the bid."
Gloria Barrera provided the Board an overview of Competitive Sealed Process (CSP) #26-1309 for the South Waco re-roof project. Barrera said the district received 17 proposals, two of which were deemed non-responsive. Proposals included two roofing-system options — Modified Bitumen and Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) — and the evaluation committee ranked the top vendors for each system and supplied bid tabulations and scoring summaries for the Board's review.
Jim Patton moved to "approve the selection of the highest ranked proposer for Bid Item #2 and authorize the Superintendent to negotiate and execute a contract with the selected proposer," and Taylor Bledsoe seconded. The motion passed unanimously (6-0). The Board directed staff to proceed with negotiations in accordance with Texas procurement law.
The meeting lasted approximately seven minutes and adjourned at 5:07 p.m. The district will continue contract negotiations with the selected proposer per the Board's authorization; final contract execution is subject to successful negotiations and compliance with applicable procurement requirements.
Details from the meeting that were not specified in the minutes include the selected vendor's name, the contract amount, and a timeline for construction; those items will be reported when the district completes negotiations or in subsequent Board materials.
