District Considers Open-Ended ‘As-Needed’ Consulting Contract

📅 2026-09-12

The board will vote on hiring LWA for broad ‘consulting professional services’ on an ‘as-needed’ basis for bond projects. These open-ended agreements can become a blank check, leading to uncontrolled spending without specific deliverables or a clear end date.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Taft ISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item 6.C, what is the proposed fee structure for LWA’s ‘as-needed’ services? Taxpayers deserve a clear cap on spending and defined deliverables before the district enters into an open-ended consulting contract.’
