Board approves consent agenda and a series of contract awards for HVAC, IT, auditorium renovations and more
Summary
Trustees approved the consent agenda and multiple procurement items: insurance renewal, HVAC and MEP renovations, districtwide HVAC rooftop replacements, building control systems, network upgrades (E‑Rate supported), auditorium renovation services, playgrounds scope added to CMAR, LED sports-lighting retrofit and other purchases.
The board approved the consent agenda and then moved through a slate of contract approvals and project awards tied to the 2025 bond and district operations.
On the consent agenda the board approved minutes and TEA waiver submissions and a TASB policy update. Later items approved included the district's auto liability and cyber renewal (presenter reported an increase; transcript contains garbled numeric detail), an award to 3rd Coast Controls LLC for a district-wide building automated systems modernization, junior high MEP renovation work to Weaver and Jacobs Constructors, and a district-wide rooftop HVAC replacement contract. The board also approved an IT wide-area circuit and network services award to Computer Solutions with about 20% of the roughly $632,827 project expected to be funded by E‑Rate.
The board approved Pflueger Architects for auditorium renovations and authorized a contract amendment to the construction manager at risk (Weaver and Jacobs) to add the playgrounds project ($7,450,000). Trustees also delegated change-order authority for bond projects to the superintendent or designee for sums up to $250,000 to improve timeliness. The board approved additional purchases including a special education bus, structural engineering pool adjustments, ceiling grid materials and a track resurfacing project.
District staff described project phasing and timing for many items and said some work will be scheduled over spring break or summer to minimize instructional disruption.
