Board names construction manager and approves design, concrete contracts for campus projects
Summary
The board approved Skillman Corporation as construction manager, Tower Pinkster as design engineer for the tennis court project, and two Gambino Concrete contracts totaling $236,525 for east and west MS/HS concrete work.
The New Buffalo Area Schools board on May 27 approved a set of construction-related contracts tied to its capital plan. The board named Skillman Corporation as construction manager for 2026—6/27 capital improvement projects and approved Tower Pinkster to serve as design and engineer for the tennis court project.
The board also approved two concrete contracts with Gambino Concrete: $65,700.00 for the middle/high school west concrete project and $170,825.00 for the east concrete project, totaling $236,525. Motions for these approvals were moved and seconded as recorded in the minutes and carried unanimously.
Board approval of a construction manager and contractor agreements came in the same meeting that approved a $4,300,000 capital improvement bond. The minutes do not include a full project schedule or a vendor scope-of-work beyond the contract amounts and design assignment; the board recorded that the recommended firms were "to serve" in their respective roles.
Next steps: the Director of Finance and Operations will manage contracting and project oversight under the construction manager's coordination; the board did not record a detailed timeline in the minutes.
