Mrs. Libby presented a resolution that establishes the framework under Indiana Code 5‑30 to use the design‑build delivery method for the district’s 2026–28 elementary and middle school renovation projects. The resolution authorizes the method, appoints members of the technical review committee and permits staff to begin preparing the RFQ and RFP documents.
Libby said the technical review committee will evaluate RFQs using a scoring rubric and will present ranked proposals and recommendations to the board; the board will then consider those proposals at a future meeting.
A motion to adopt the design‑build resolution and proceed with RFQ/RFP preparation was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote. Staff will return with scoring, proposals and a recommendation for award when the committee completes its review.
