Summary

The board awarded a construction‑management contract to HMK (not to exceed $864,697) and approved three resolutions authorizing qualifications‑plus‑bid procurement for high‑school restroom, HVAC replacement and Deer Creek security projects to expedite the 2025–26 bond work.

The Tigard‑Tualatin board approved multiple bond‑related actions, awarding a construction management services contract to HMK for a not‑to‑exceed amount of $864,697 over 54 months and adopting three resolutions exempting specified projects from the typical competitive bidding process.

Director Montague reviewed the project‑manager RFP results; HMK was recommended for FF&E work and its contract was approved by unanimous voice vote. The contract amount presented to the board was "an amount not to exceed $864,697," staff said.

Separately, staff asked the board to adopt findings under ORS 279C.335 permitting a qualifications‑plus‑bid procurement for three bond projects: restroom complexes at Tigard and Tualatin High Schools (Resolution 25‑26‑10), replacement of 25 HVAC units at multiple schools (Resolution 25‑26‑11), and security/infrastructure upgrades at Deer Creek Elementary (Resolution 25‑26‑12). Staff said a public hearing was held on Nov. 25 with no attendees and argued the qualification‑plus‑bid approach reduces change orders and yields cost savings; the board approved all three resolutions unanimously.

Staff said the procurement method aims to pre‑qualify contractors so proposals reflect the full scope and reduce later contract change orders; proponents cited a smoother prior bond season using similar methods. The actions will enable staff to solicit proposals and select contractors for the 2025 construction season.
