Board selects Scheibel Construction for Fruitland Intermediate HVAC upgrade
Summary
By the superintendent's recommendation the board approved Scheibel Construction for construction-manager-at-risk services for the Fruitland Intermediate HVAC upgrade, authorizing preconstruction work and establishment of a GMP; work is planned to begin summer 2026 with completion in summer 2027.
The Wicomico County Board of Education voted to accept the superintendent's recommendation and authorize Scheibel Construction to provide construction-manager-at-risk (CMR) services for the Fruitland Intermediate HVAC upgrade.
Dr. Reger explained the board previously approved the project scope and selection used a two-step CMR selection process. Today's approval allows the selected CMR firm to begin preconstruction work, prepare trade bids and establish a guaranteed maximum price; the project is anticipated to begin summer 2026 and finish summer 2027 while using eight on-site swing classrooms during the school year.
The motion to approve was moved and seconded from the dais and passed by roll-call; members recorded aye votes and Chair Malone announced the item approved.
Why it matters: the CMR approach is intended to expedite preconstruction planning and pricing while allowing the district to manage schedule and site impacts during school operations.
Next steps: administration and legal counsel will finalize contract documents consistent with the RFP terms and, if required, submit materials to the Interagency Committee (IAC) for approval.
