Board approves design-build delivery method for Longley Way modular project
Summary
The board approved Resolution 25-26-29 to authorize use of the design-build construction delivery method and to issue RFQ/RFPs under the cited Education Code, with staff identifying the Longley Way modular building as the initial project candidate.
District staff described the design-build delivery method as a single-team approach where architects and contractors form a joint team that both designs and constructs the project, reducing separation and aiming to limit change orders. The presenter said the district intends to use the method for the Longley Way modular building: "Specifically, the one we're currently considering is Longley Way, the new modular building," staff said.
During discussion staff said this would be the district's first time using design-build locally, noted the approach has gained traction in Northern California and community colleges, and explained the RFQ/RFP process. Trustee Vargo moved to approve Resolution 25-26-29 and issue requests for qualifications and proposals under Education Code section cited in the staff report; the motion was seconded and carried. The board expressed interest in comparing results to earlier modular projects and tracking outcomes.
