Board approves $174,435 contract with DLR Group for long‑range facility planning and outreach
Summary
The Centennial School District board approved a recommendation to award DLR Group a contract for long‑range facility planning and community outreach valued at $174,435 (estimated ~1,200 hours); the selection followed interviews of respondents and a committee review.
The Centennial School District board approved a motion to award the long‑range facility planning and community outreach contract to DLR Group during the July 30 retreat. District staff and board liaison Director Sotherton described a competitive procurement process with five respondents and three finalists interviewed; the selection committee recommended DLR Group based on those interviews and scoring.
District staff presented the recommended contract total of $174,435 and noted the work estimate of roughly 1,200 hours. The motion was called and passed; the chair announced that “the ayes have it.” The board also discussed a backward‑mapped schedule for community workshops and listening sessions that would inform any future bond planning timeline (the district noted potential community workshops beginning in January and continuing through spring with additional sessions possibly extending into the fall of the following year).
Board members and staff discussed liaison roles for the long‑range facility planning process and recommended 1–2 board liaisons to serve as primary points of contact. Staff said timelines remain in draft and will be refined with DLR as work proceeds.
What’s next: the district will finalize the DLR contract paperwork, set the community‑engagement schedule and identify board liaisons; the board expected a fuller DLR briefing at the September work session.
