Valley School District approves Garco construction contract for new Early Learning Center; groundwork underway
Summary
The Valley School District board approved a Garco guaranteed maximum price construction contract for the new Valley Early Learning Center and heard that groundwork has begun, with a target completion by the end of July 2026.
The Valley School District board on Oct. 15 approved a construction contract with Garco for the new Valley Early Learning Center (VELC).
Superintendent Dr. Mandi Rehn presented the Garco guaranteed maximum price (GMP) agreement and recommended the board approve the contract. Director Crystal Hubert moved to approve the Garco construction contract as presented; Nancy Cocroft seconded and the motion carried.
Board members were told that groundwork on the VELC project began Monday, fencing is installed around the site, and the VELC and maintenance portables are wrapped and ready to be transported. Meeting minutes state the goal is still to have the VELC completed by the end of July 2026.
The minutes do not list the contract dollar amount or budget breakdown for the GMP in the body of the record. The board’s action was recorded as an approval of the presented contract; the minutes do not show a roll-call vote tally.
Next steps recorded in the minutes indicate construction will continue under the approved contract; no additional milestone dates or procurement contingencies were included in the record.
