Board adopts CM/GC procurement for Upper Table Rock Elementary gym seismic work

The Eagle Point School District 9 Board of Directors adopted Resolution No. 2 on Dec. 17, 2025, authorizing the district to exempt the Upper Table Rock Elementary Gymnasium Seismic Rehabilitation Project from the standard competitive bidding process and to use a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) procurement method.

The resolution materials presented to the board cite ORS 279C.335(1) and (2) and OAR 137-049-0620(1) as the statutory and administrative authorities permitting a Local Contract Review Board to grant specific exemptions when supported by written findings. Administration recommended approval in a staff information packet and provided a suggested motion for the board to adopt the findings and authorize selection of a CM/GC through an RFP process in accordance with ORS 279C.337.

The packet explains the district's rationale for using CM/GC: contractor input during design to reduce errors and unforeseen costs, assistance estimating project costs, and the opportunity to establish a Guaranteed Maximum Price earlier in the process. The administrative materials also state that the findings addressing competition and cost-savings were made available at least 14 days prior to the public hearing, as required by the cited statutes.

The resolution document states it was "ADOPTED by roll call vote of the Board of Directors at their regular meeting held December 17, 2025." The transcripted materials do not include the roll call tally, mover, or seconder, so the exact vote counts were not recorded in the available text.

Next steps identified in the board packet include completing the RFP process for CM/GC selection consistent with the district's public contracting rules and the procedures described in the findings of fact. The board packet and exhibit materials are part of the public record for this action.
