Tarrant County College trustees approved about $24.3 million in contracts, renewals and purchases during their June 18 board meeting. 

The largest expense was a $9.3 million amendment for site utility relocation and long-lead materials for a new science building at the Northeast campus and backfill renovations. The project is part of TCC’s $825 million bond program, which Tarrant County voters approved in 2019. 

Chief Financial Officer Pamela Anglin said at the June 11 work session that the work will prepare the project for a future guaranteed maximum price for building construction, which college officials hope to bring to trustees in August.

The board also accepted donated high-density storage systems from Foster & Sear, LLP for the Northeast science building. 

Roger Heath, a TCC alumnus and the firm’s representative, said the gift grew out of his own path through the college. 

“How do you take an uneducated construction worker and turn him into a lawyer in five or six years? You send him to TCC, where they don’t see any of that as a bar,” Heath said at the June 11 work session. 

Here’s a look at newly approved spending:
