Your planning, procurement, and contracting actions in these initial months are the district’s first line of protection.
Congratulations to all Texas school districts who successfully passed November bonds! The Leon Alcala team knows how impactful this is for your district and community. To those who did not achieve your desired results, we hope this is only a brief setback on your path forward.
For districts who now prepare to turn bond approval into action, a critical scope and sequence of your work now begins. Your planning, procurement, and contracting actions in these initial months are the district’s first line of protection from adverse audit findings, legal challenges, cost overruns, construction defects, and construction litigation.
Before bond funds are expended and board actions are taken, Leon Alcala encourages your district to:
I. Develop clear bond project scopes, budgets, milestones, and timelines.
II. Determine which construction professionals are legally required and which are discretionary.
III. Understand how and when to procure and contract with every member of your bond construction team, including design professional and contractors, in accordance with Texas law.
IV. Plan for and document Board actions that must occur publicly throughout the procurement, contracting, and construction phases of your projects.
V. Select one or more legally compliant construction delivery methods (bidding method) for your bond construction project(s).
VI. Customize your procurement and contracting processes to maximize legal compliance and manage risk.
Not sure where to start? Join us for either or both of following webinars to ensure your district is prepared to navigate every phase of your bond program with clarity and confidence.
