Summary
The board selected job order contracting, designated BuyBoard as the purchasing cooperative and named Hunter-Knepshield of Texas, Inc. as the vendor for playground projects at H. O. Whitehurst and Enge-Washington Intermediate School; the board discussed ADA equipment, drainage and constraints related to Kids Kare Academy.
Groesbeck ISD trustees voted March 30 to use job order contracting as the procurement method that provides the best value for playground work at H. O. Whitehurst and Enge-Washington Intermediate School. Scott Cummings presented bids and described work including demolition, ground preparation, ADA-compliant playground equipment, canopies and water drainage.
Trustee Stephen Bradley moved that job order contracting be used for the playground projects; the motion carried unanimously. The board also adopted a resolution selecting BuyBoard as the purchasing cooperative to hire job order contractors and chose Hunter-Knepshield of Texas, Inc. as the BuyBoard vendor for the two playground projects. Board members discussed a constraint at Kids Kare Academy where an electrical line prevents a canopy installation at one location; staff will contact the child care licensing department regarding options.
