Board approves amended RFP and $53,000 contract for baseball backstop upgrades

Gatesville ISD Board of Trustees · August 18, 2025

Summary

Trustees approved an amended award to Containment Systems Inc. for backstop, netting and poles at the baseball field for $53,000, redirecting prior sponsorship funds and removing dugout work from the scope.

Assistant Superintendent of Finance LeighAnn Goodwin explained the revised scope for baseball facility upgrades, noting a $100,000 sponsorship from First National Bank of Central Texas originally presented in December 2024. Goodwin said the district removed dugout work from the scope after a high sealed bid and that the amended package — backstop, netting and poles — will cost $53,000. She recommended accepting the amended RFP to Containment Systems Inc.; the board approved the recommendation (motion by Linda Maxwell, seconded by Cheyenne Kizer).

The narrower scope directs sponsorship proceeds to the backstop work while deferring dugout upgrades. The board’s approval authorizes staff to proceed with contracting and project implementation under the amended scope.
