The North Lamar ISD board voted to approve the ranking of competitive sealed proposals for demolition of Higgins Elementary and the North Wing, Gymnasium and Fine Arts section of the Bailey Success Center, and delegated authority to the superintendent to work with the district's legal counsel to negotiate project contracts to be returned to the board for final approval.
The motion, made by Russell Jackson and seconded by Lauren Woodard, passed with six votes in favor and one abstention by Bo Exum. The minutes record the vote as 6-0 with Exum abstaining. The board's action authorizes district staff and counsel to negotiate contract terms consistent with the approved ranking; final contracts must be presented to the board for ratification per the minutes.
The minutes do not list the dollar amounts or the names of the bidders; administration was delegated negotiation authority but the board retained final approval of contracts.
