La Porte ISD trustees approve Guaranteed Maximum Price for La Porte High School renovations
Summary
The La Porte Independent School District Board of Trustees approved Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) No. 1 for renovations at La Porte High School after a motion carried 7–0. The contractor named was Tellepsen Builders, L.P.; the GMP dollar amount was not specified in the minutes.
La Porte Independent School District Board of Trustees approved Guaranteed Maximum Price No. 1 for renovations at La Porte High School during its April 22, 2025 special board workshop. Dr. Bobby Martinez, deputy superintendent of support services, presented an overview of the 2025 summer renovation plans before the board voted to proceed.
Trustee Dee Anne Thomson moved to approve the GMP as proposed by Tellepsen Builders, L.P., with Trustee Jeff Martin seconding the motion. "The motion passed by a vote of 7 to 0," the minutes state. The motion record lists seven yes votes and no abstentions or negatives; the minutes do not provide the GMP dollar amount or the contract value.
The approval authorizes staff to proceed with the renovation work under the terms described by the district and the construction manager at risk. The minutes do not specify an implementation timeline, funding breakdown, or whether the GMP includes contingencies; those details were not provided in the record and are therefore not reported here. The board did not attach conditions or amendments to the motion in the minutes.
