PNGISD board approves VLK Architects proposal; fee structure and scope cited
Summary
Trustees approved a proposal with VLK Architects for work tied to the 2025 bond program and delegated authority to the superintendent; VLK's letter (Nov. 13, 2025) proposes fees of 6% for Package 1 and 7% for Package 2.
The Port Neches‑Groves ISD Board on Dec. 9, 2025 approved a resolution accepting a proposal with VLK Architects for portions of the district's 2025 Bond Program and delegated the superintendent to negotiate and sign the architect contract.
Trustee Brandon Cropper made the motion, which Trustee Jake Lefort seconded. The minutes record the vote as unanimous (7-0). A November 13, 2025 letter from VLK to Turner & Townsend (addressed to Mr. Gary Whittle) outlines two packages: Package 1 — a new Transportation Center, a Covered Multipurpose Facility, and a Multipurpose building at the stadium; Package 2 — a high school auditorium renovation and a renovation of the existing Transportation Center. The letter states, "We propose that our fee be 6% of the actual construction cost for Package 1 projects and 7% of the actual construction cost for Package 2 projects." (VLK Nov. 13, 2025).
The board's resolution delegates to the superintendent the authority to make changes in consultation with district counsel, negotiate final terms, and execute the contract on behalf of the district. The minutes do not record a specific dollar authorization or a contract execution date.
