At a special meeting April 28, 2025, the Howell Public Schools Board of Education voted unanimously to approve bid recommendations for Highlander Way Middle School.
"Moved by Ms. Zurek, supported by Mr. Bedford that the board approve the Highlander Way Middle School Bid recommendations on AUCH Construction's analysis, as reviewed by the Bond Oversight Committee, as per Exhibit A of the official board minutes." The motion (#2025‑054) passed on a roll‑call vote of 5–0: Bedford, Zurek, Dault, Tarara and Marhofer voted yes.
The board record cites AUCH Construction's analysis and the Bond Oversight Committee review as the basis for the recommendation; the motion references Exhibit A of the official minutes for the full bid list. Trustee Bedford noted that several local contractors named in the recommendations will be doing work for the district.
No additional budgetary figures, contract amounts, or firm‑by‑firm awards were presented on the record at the meeting; those details were referenced as part of Exhibit A in the official minutes. The board did not receive public comment on the bids during this meeting.
The approval moves the bid recommendations forward for contract award and project implementation consistent with the district's bond oversight process. Superintendent Mr. MacGregor and district staff were present at the meeting to support the item; the district did not announce firm award dates in the record.
