Board adopts contractor prequalification criteria for PPS and UMS projects
Summary
The board approved contractor prequalification criteria recommended by architect Black River Design and added a requirement for contractors to demonstrate a track record of clear, open communication with the owner's administrative team.
Architect John Hemmelgarn of Black River Design reviewed recommended general contractor qualification criteria required by the Agency of Education, including experience, ability to meet budget and schedule, quality of workmanship, and the ability to maintain safe working conditions and work around children.
Board Chair Lindsey Cox raised the possibility of stronger language about working safely and efficiently on an occupied elementary campus. Hemmelgarn recommended addressing that through reference checks and suggested adding a criterion about communication. The Board supported adding the following criterion: "Track record of clear and open communication with the owner's administrative team." Director Laurie Kigonya moved to approve the criteria for both the Porters Point School (PPS) and UMS projects; the motion passed unanimously.
The criteria will be used as part of the next step in contractor selection for district renovation and construction projects and are intended to help the district meet Agency of Education requirements.
