Board selects Weaver & Jacobs as construction manager at risk for Southern Transportation Hub
Summary
After a competitive evaluation and interviews, the board approved Weaver & Jacobs as the construction manager at risk for the Southern Transportation Hub, a project described as an industrialized building with a fueling station and parking for about 40 buses; the superintendent was authorized to negotiate final terms.
District staff recommended Weaver & Jacobs as the construction manager at risk (CMAR) for the Southern Transportation Hub following an evaluation and interview process. Staff told trustees the firm demonstrated a strong record of project delivery and has an office in Hutto. "We believe they provided the highest quality proposal and best overall value for the district," staff said during the presentation.
Staff described the hub as an industrialized building with one transportation bay, a fueling station and parking capacity for approximately 40 buses; preliminary coordination with TxDOT may eliminate the need for a deceleration lane, but final approvals will require City of Hutto and TxDOT review. Trustee discussion emphasized safety, convenience for bus routing and potential savings on fuel and maintenance. Trustees voted to approve Weaver & Jacobs and authorized the superintendent to negotiate final contract terms.
