Board approves Job Order Contracting and TIPS procurement for high school bond projects
Summary
The Marble Falls ISD Board approved using Job Order Contracting (JOC) and the Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) for selected high school bond projects, replacing the previous CMAR-only approach, to increase procurement flexibility amid market and scheduling considerations.
Marble Falls, Texas — On March 23 the Marble Falls Independent School District Board approved a change in procurement method for several high school bond projects, authorizing Job Order Contracting (JOC) and use of the Texas Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) in addition to the previously approved construction manager-at-risk (CMAR) approach.
Bill Orr presented the recommendation, noting the change would provide greater flexibility given updated project evaluations, current market conditions, and scheduling considerations. The Board approved the Job Order Contracting method and use of TIPS for the High School Band Hall Expansion, High School Dance and Drill Facility, and High School Auditorium Renovation; the motion was made by Kevin Virdell and seconded by Crystal Tubig and carried unanimously.
Administration said the procurement method change is intended to allow projects to be sequenced and procured more responsively; staff will return with procurement steps and vendor selections as projects move forward.
