Board approves fencing, painting contracts and budget amendments tied to storm repairs
Summary
Bonham ISD authorized contracts for athletic fencing and district painting (combined painting quote about $56,093) and approved budget amendments shifting savings to cover upgrades; insurance proceeds will reimburse some storm‑related costs once settled.
The board approved several facilities contracts and related budget amendments after staff explained the proposals and insurance status. The projects include full replacement of black chain‑link fence at the tennis courts, upgrades to softball outfield fencing (quote from Anderson Fencing), and painting work across the district with the bulk of painting targeted at the VOTEC building and the boardroom. Staff said the combined painting and fencing projects total over $50,000 and reported the painting quote at approximately $56,093.
Staff explained insurance will cover portions of storm damage (north and south fence sections and part of the softball windscreen) and that the district will initially fund the work from fund balance and later seek reimbursement from TASB/insurance proceeds. The board approved the purchase motions and later approved an amended budget to reassign savings (e.g., from completed restroom/softball projects) into function codes that will cover the upgrades.
Why it matters: The contracts and budget amendments address storm repairs and facility upgrades that affect athletic and instructional facilities; initial fund‑balance outlays will be partially offset by insurance when claims settle.
