New Home ISD Board ranks two CMAR firms and authorizes superintendent to negotiate contracts
Summary
The New Home ISD Board voted Oct. 31 to rank firms responding to RFP 2024-001 for construction-manager-at-risk services — listing CIB first and Oprex second — and adopted a resolution authorizing the superintendent to negotiate contracts under Texas Government Code 2269.254, including work such as a stand-alone restroom at the district football/track facilities.
The New Home ISD Board on Oct. 31, 2024 voted to rank construction-manager-at-risk firms that responded to RFP 2024-001, listing CIB as the top-ranked firm and Oprex second. "Motion by Shaun Wied, seconded by Andy Beck to Rank construction Manager at-Risk firms that responded to 2024-001 for the provision of construction manager at-risk services to the District for the renovation of existing school facilities and/or construction of new school facilities, including without limitation: a stand-alone restroom at the District's football/track facilities," the minutes record. The motion carried.
The board then adopted a resolution authorizing the superintendent, with assistance from legal counsel, to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the ranked firms under Texas Government Code 2269.254 and to take "any and all action necessary to carry out the purposes of the Board as described in the resolution," according to the minutes. "Motion by Corey Clem, seconded by Jason Gandy to adopt a resolution that accomplishes the following: (1) ranks the Construction Manager at-risk ('CMAR') firms that responded to RFP 2024-001 ... (2) authorizes the superintendent, with the assistance of legal counsel, to negotiate a satisfactory contract ... and (3) authorizes the superintendent to take any and all action necessary to carry out the purposes of the Board as described in the resolution." The motion carried.
The ranking and resolution give the superintendent authority to begin contract negotiations with the top-ranked firms; the minutes do not specify a negotiation timeline, contract terms, or vote tallies. The RFP 2024-001 scope cited in the motion includes renovation and new-construction projects and explicitly references constructing a stand-alone restroom at the district's football and track facilities. The board did not record individual vote counts in the minutes provided.
Next steps in the minutes: the superintendent is authorized to negotiate contracts in accordance with the cited statute and to work with legal counsel on contract language. No further procedural dates or contract awards are listed in the recorded minutes.
