Board approves RFP seeking construction manager to support large bond project planning
Summary
On a 7–0 vote, the board authorized Superintendent Sedgwick to issue an RFP for a construction manager to assist with preconstruction cost confirmation and to broaden local contractor bidding for potential bond projects.
The Marquette Area Public Schools Board voted unanimously on May 12 to authorize an RFP for a construction manager to support planning for a potential large‑scale capital program.
Jennifer Ray moved to instruct Superintendent Zack Sedgwick to issue the RFP; Eric Smith seconded. Board discussion emphasized that a construction manager could provide preconstruction cost validation and make it easier for local subcontractors to participate in a large project.
The motion passed 7–0. No contract was awarded at the meeting; the RFP approval authorizes staff to solicit proposals and return to the board with recommended firms and contract terms for consideration.
