Summary
District staff told the board Jan. 8 that major capital projects are advancing: a slab-on-grade pour for one building is scheduled Jan. 21, steel erection is expected to begin Feb. 9, GCCM RFP proposals are closing at month-end and staff will continue student and community engagement during schematic design.
District leaders gave a detailed construction update at the Jan. 8 Port Angeles School District board meeting, saying work on multiple capital projects is progressing and several near-term milestones are set.
District staff reported that on Jan. 21 crews will pour the other half of a slab-on-grade at one project site and that steel erection is expected to begin Feb. 9. Staff said the district recently held a site walk for potential GCCM contractors; several large firms attended and proposals are due at the end of the month. The district’s construction manager and architectural partners have been meeting with staff, students and community groups to gather feedback and produce educational specifications for schematic design.
Officials also described engagement with community arts and music groups to ensure the performing-arts center design meets community needs, and they outlined plans for more frequent walkthroughs and potential field trips for board members and students as the steel goes up.
The report emphasized coordinated scheduling across projects, continuing design input from TCF and Entegris, and that staff will return with further updates as the projects advance through schematic and procurement stages.
