Board authorizes CMR selection process and delegates contract negotiations with Richland Architects
Summary
The board approved a resolution to start the selection process for construction-manager-at-risk (CMR) firms and delegated authority to the superintendent, treasurer and designees to negotiate and execute a contract with Richland Architects, moving procurement steps forward for the facilities project.
The board approved a business services resolution authorizing the selection process for construction-manager-at-risk (CMR) firms and approved delegating authority to the superintendent, treasurer and their designees to negotiate and execute a contract with Richland Architects.
During the motion (presented by a district administrator, speaker 2), the board considered two related resolutions: (a) authorization of the selection process required for CMR firms and solicitation of qualifications; and (b) a delegation of authority to negotiate and execute a contract with Richland Architects. Board members asked clarifying questions before the motion was seconded and approved by roll call.
Why it matters: The approved resolutions begin formal procurement steps required to secure a construction manager and to finalize an architecture/contracting partner for the district’s facilities work; those steps will affect how the bond-funded work (if approved by voters) is implemented.
What’s next: Staff will proceed with soliciting qualifications from CMR firms and, per the delegation, continue negotiations with Richland Architects as authorized by the board.
