Comal ISD trustees are scheduled to decide Oct. 22 whether to approve a $56,177,364 guaranteed maximum price for Elementary School 21 construction.

Approval would set a $56,177,364 construction contract ceiling for Elementary School 21, a 2023 bond project. The figure is a proposed limit for this construction agreement; the posted material does not record a board decision on the October proposal.

How the project reached this point

The staff action sheet identifies Elementary School 21 as a 2023 Bond Program project and says Drymalla was awarded the project on Oct. 26, 2023. It recommends the first guaranteed maximum price for the school's construction. The earlier project award supplies context for the proposed price, while the Oct. 22 agenda places the price before trustees for a decision.

What trustees will decide

The board's Oct. 22 regular meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., and the Elementary School 21 price appears as consent item 6.F. A consent listing is a proposal for board action; the recorded outcome will establish whether trustees approve the price, change it or take another action.

Readers can inspect the proposed price and project history in the Elementary School 21 action sheet. The next record to check is the board's Oct. 22 action on item 6.F, followed by the final guaranteed maximum price agreement.
