Gainesville Independent School District Board of Trustees · June 15, 2026

Summary

BTC Construction and district project staff told the board that 2025 Bond work at Edison, Chalmers and Gainesville Intermediate has full permits, is in site-prep phases and shows 2.8% billing through May, with subcontractor selection and PVC piping installation upcoming.

Scott Barnes, vice president of operations for BTC Construction, and project manager Leslie Jimenez told the Gainesville ISD board on June 15 that the district's 2025 Bond Phase 1 projects at Edison Elementary, Chalmers Elementary and Gainesville Intermediate are moving into active construction.

Barnes reported that billing through May is 2.8% and that full permits have been released. The presenters said current construction activities include site preparation, building pad work, utility relocations and storm drainage improvements. They identified near-term tasks as responding to city comments, selecting subcontractors and installing PVC piping; drone photographs were shown to illustrate progress.

The update provided schedule and financial context for the Bond program but did not change any board actions during the meeting. No dollar totals for the overall program were reported at the meeting; presenters emphasized contingency and allowance balances remain available.
