Silsbee ISD board awards contracts, approves budget revision for athletic facilities
Summary
On March 13, 2025 the Silsbee ISD Board of Trustees awarded a Job Order Contract to McInnis Construction, approved purchase orders for court resurfacing and backstop netting, and approved a budget revision for tennis and baseball/softball improvements. All motions passed unanimously.
The Silsbee Independent School District Board of Trustees voted March 13 to move forward on multiple athletic facility projects, awarding work and adjusting the budget to fund improvements.
Trustee Jim de Garavilla moved to award a Job Order Contract to McInnis Construction for the base bid on the tennis/drainage project at Silsbee High School; Trustee Kenneth Fisher seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The board also approved a purchase order for Hellas Construction to resurface the tennis courts (motion by Jonta Miller, seconded by Dana Hancock) and approved a purchase order for America's Nationwide Netting DBA Nets of Texas to supply backstop netting for both baseball and softball (motion by Kenneth Rulon, seconded by Jim de Garavilla). All three motions passed unanimously.
Following those approvals, the board approved a budget revision to fund improvements to the tennis courts and the baseball/softball complex. Trustee Jim de Garavilla moved the budget revision and Trustee Kenneth Fisher seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The minutes do not specify dollar amounts for the budget revision or construction contracts. The board did not record any discussion or dissent on the record in the minutes; next procedural steps are the typical contract finalization and project scheduling with the district administration and contractors.
