Board Facilities Committee approves $125,000 boiler replacement at Lamar Middle School
Summary
The Temple ISD Board Facilities Committee approved a BuyBoard contract proposal to replace a failed boiler at Lamar Middle School, authorizing up to $125,000; the campus has been using a temporary heating system since the breakdown.
The Temple Independent School District Board Facilities Committee voted unanimously Feb. 27 to approve replacement of a failed boiler at Lamar Middle School.
According to the meeting minutes, Kent Boyd, a district staff member, presented recommended pricing for a replacement after the campus boiler broke down earlier in February and the campus relied on a temporary heating system. The administration recommended awarding the work to Rabroker through the BuyBoard contract at a maximum cost of $125,000. "A motion was made by Ms. Suarez and seconded by Mrs. Cook to approve the recommendation as presented," the record states. The motion passed 4-0.
Virginia Suarez (board member) moved the motion, and Dawn Cook (board member) seconded; Ronnie Gaines presided as chair and Shannon Gowan voted in favor. The minutes record no abstentions. The committee did not attach conditions to the approval in the minutes.
The approval authorizes district staff to proceed with procurement and replacement under the BuyBoard cooperative purchasing contract. The minutes note the campus has used a temporary heating system while the district arranged replacement; no timeline for installation or a service-start date is specified in the record.
