Wimberley ISD board adopts CMAR for bid packages and approves AGCM and O'Connell Robertson contracts
Summary
Board members approved the Construction Manager at Risk delivery method for Bid Packages 2 and 3, authorized an Owner's Third-Party Representative Agreement with AGCM, Inc., and approved a design and contract administration agreement with O'Connell Robertson & Associates for 2025 bond projects.
The Wimberley ISD Board voted July 21 to adopt Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) as the delivery method for Bid Packages 2 and 3 in accordance with Texas Government Code Chapter 2269. The motion to adopt CMAR, made by Ken Strange and seconded by Andrea Justus, passed 6–0 with one absence.
The Board also approved an Owner's Third-Party Representative Agreement with AGCM, Inc. for project/program management services related to the district's 2025 bond construction projects and authorized the superintendent or designee to execute the agreement. During the information presentation, Derick Bird of AGCM described the procurement options and identified CMAR as the firm's recommended method, citing collaborative processes and the value of a "guaranteed maximum price (GMP)." The Board approved a separate agreement with O'Connell Robertson & Associates, Inc. for design and contract administration services for the same bond projects.
Minutes show unanimous approval for the contracts and selection of CMAR but do not record negotiated fees, guaranteed maximum price values, or a project schedule in the public record; the administration was authorized to execute agreements as presented.
