On Sunday, June 8, the House Committee on Transportation approved using the construction manager at risk (CMAR) "Seymour method" to procure a new primary care clinic in Bossier City, the committee chair announced during the panel's final meeting of the session.

The committee chair said the CMAR approach is "to allow the architects and engineers, the design firms to collaborate with the contractors on contract price and timing," a procurement step the file shows was requested on behalf of Representative Bamberg and accompanied by a letter from North Caddo Medical Center explaining the method's purpose.

Representative Tarver moved to authorize the CMAR/Seymour method for the primary care clinic; with no objections during the meeting, the chair declared the method approved by unanimous consent. The transcript shows no roll-call vote was taken and no member registered an objection on the record.

Committee members were thanked for their patience during the session and told this was the committee's last meeting. The record includes the North Caddo Medical Center letter, which the chair said explains the purpose of the CMAR request, but the letter's contents beyond that description were not read into the record.

No additional motions, funding amounts, schedule details, contractor names, or second readings were provided in the transcript. The committee adjourned after approving the procurement method.
