Banks SD 13 appoints 5 Star Builders as CMGC for auxiliary gym, Kelly Field and golf facility
Summary
The board approved appointing 5 Star Builders as construction manager/general contractor for three projects; the auxiliary gym will be bond‑funded while Kelly Field and the golf practice facility rely on private fundraising and a $250,000 donation.
Banks SD 13 voted April 14 to appoint 5 Star Builders as the construction‑manager/general‑contractor (CMGC) for three campus projects: the auxiliary gym (funded by the district's 2024 bond), the privately funded Kelly Field 365 project and a new on‑campus golf practice facility.
Superintendent Brian explained the procurement process and funding sources: "The auxiliary is part of the bond promise, part of the 2024 bond that will be paid for by bond dollars," he said, and staff clarified that Kelly Field 365 is being covered by private fundraising while the golf facility received a $250,000 donation from the Holt group.
The appointment consolidates project management under a single CMGC contract to coordinate the gym, field and golf practice work. Board members moved and seconded the recommendation, and the chair called the vote; the board approved the appointment during the meeting.
What this means: Bond dollars will cover the auxiliary gym. The two other projects are explicitly funded through private sources or donations; contract documents and detailed scopes will follow the board's public contracting process.
Next steps: Staff said contract documents and subsequent contract actions for the projects will proceed through the district's procurement and contracting process.
