Board authorizes administration to negotiate construction manager contracts for bond projects
Summary
Smithville R‑II authorized administration to negotiate and return to the board with finalized contracts with selected construction managers (Newkirk Novak and Mammoth Sports were named as recommended firms).
The Smithville R‑II Board of Education authorized district administration to negotiate with recommended construction management/general contractor firms for the district’s bond construction projects and to return a finalized contract or contracts for board approval.
Administration told the board it had run a request‑for‑qualifications process that drew five responses and invited four firms to interviews. After interviews and reference checks, administration recommended starting negotiations with Newkirk Novak and Mammoth Sports; the board was told administration used an evaluation rubric consistent with the RFQ. The board authorized administration to negotiate terms and said any finalized contracts would come back to the board for approval, likely in June if negotiations proceed on the projected timeline.
A board member stated they would abstain from the vote because they had not been able to attend the interview meetings; another board member asked for clarification that final contracts would be returned for board approval before execution. Administration confirmed finalized contracts will be brought back to the board for approval.
