Board authorizes professional evaluations of high school roofing and MEP systems under Texas procurement law
Summary
Trustees authorized the superintendent to select and contract with professional service providers, including roofing and MEP engineers, pursuant to Texas Government Code Chapter 2254, to evaluate high‑school facilities and present findings to the board.
Trustee Joe Gomez moved the board authorize the superintendent, or her designee, to "select, rank, negotiate, and execute contract(s) with one or more professional service providers, pursuant to Texas Government Code Chapter 2254," including roofing and mechanical‑electrical‑plumbing (MEP) engineers to evaluate issues at the high school. Trustee Ben Lane seconded the motion, which carried with President Scot Bonner and Trustees Joe Gomez, Jeff Lawson, Ben Lane, and Blake Ward voting in favor.
The motion directs district administration to follow procurement procedures under Tex. Gov't Code Ch. 2254 for architect/engineer‑type professional services and to present the professionals' findings to the board at a future meeting. The minutes note the authorization but do not include a procurement timeline, budget estimate, or the specific scope of the problems to be evaluated.
District officials will be expected to select and rank providers, negotiate contracts in accordance with state professional services procurement law, and return to the board with reportable findings; the minutes list planned follow‑up tasks but do not state firm due dates.
