Board approves Job Order Contracting and TIPS procurement for high school bond projects
Summary
Marble Falls ISD shifted procurement for several high school bond projects to Job Order Contracting using the Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) to increase scheduling flexibility and adapt to market conditions; approval was unanimous.
Bill Orr asked the board to approve Job Order Contracting (JOC) using the Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) as the method of procurement for several high school bond projects, citing market conditions and scheduling flexibility.
The board approved the change on a motion by Kevin Virdell, seconded by Crystal Tubig, with all members present voting in favor. Administration noted the board had previously approved Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) but recommended the change to allow greater flexibility for the High School Band Hall Expansion, High School Dance and Drill Facility and High School Auditorium Renovation.
The minutes do not record specific cost estimates tied to the procurement change; staff will proceed with procurement using TIPS/JOC for the named projects.
