Board names Newkirk Novak construction manager at risk for Parker Elementary and main branch library project
Summary
The board approved awarding Newkirk Novak Construction as construction manager at risk for the Parker Elementary renovation and a replacement main‑branch library project and scheduled a community listening session June 2 at West Park Elementary.
The Kansas City, Kansas Board of Education voted May 26 to accept the evaluation committee’s recommendation and authorize negotiation of a final agreement (including a guaranteed maximum price) with Newkirk Novak Construction to serve as construction manager at risk for the Parker Elementary renovation and replacement of the main branch library.
Board members discussed how the library will benefit area students even though the Parker building has been closed; staff clarified the project will provide community access to a library without a trip downtown. The board noted a community listening session on the Parker revitalization is scheduled for June 2 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at West Park Elementary. The motion passed by roll call; one board member initially recorded a no vote during roll call but later changed to yes and the motion carried.
