Summary
The board approved a $136,168 furniture purchase covering high school, central office and cost center needs; accepted a $272,000 paving and storm‑drainage bid for Coffee County Central High School; and selected Harpeth Research as the district demographer to produce enrollment projections.
The Coffee County Board of Education approved a series of facilities and planning contracts: a full furniture purchase estimated at $136,168.76 to serve the high school, central office and a cost center; a paving, restriping and storm‑drainage project at Coffee County Central High School awarded to Tinsley Asphalt for $272,000; and engagement of Harpeth Research to perform demographer work for district enrollment projections.
Board members said each procurement had been reviewed during the spring retreat and work session. The furniture package covers multiple locations; April (business office) confirmed available funds in the capital/furniture line to cover the purchase. Tinsley confirmed availability to complete the high‑school paving project in summer and the bid was recommended by administration. For demography, the board selected Harpeth Research (a Tennessee‑based firm) following staff review of proposals; staff said consultant work can proceed remotely or include an on‑site presentation if the firm’s travel is required.
Ending: The board authorized staff to finalize contracts and proceed with the projects; staff said they will coordinate schedules for summer work and return if any timing or budget adjustments are required.
