Tarrant County College trustees approved about $24.3 million in contracts, renewals and purchases during their June 18 board meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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\u2019s $825 million bond program<\/a>, which Tarrant County voters approved in 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The board also accepted donated high-density storage systems from Foster & Sear, LLP for the Northeast science building.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roger Heath, a TCC alumnus and the firm\u2019s representative, said the gift grew out of his own path through the college.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHow 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\u2019t see any of that as a bar,\u201d Heath said at the June 11 work session.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a look at newly approved spending:<\/p>\n
