Slaton ISD selects CMAR for new elementary school construction
Summary
The Slaton ISD Board approved using the Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) procurement method for the new elementary school, following administration recommendation; trustee Kara Newcomb urged keeping construction work local.
Slaton ISD Chief Financial Officer Art Martin reviewed procurement options for the new elementary school, describing Competitive Sealed Proposal (CSP) and Construction Manager At-Risk (CMAR) methods and recommending CMAR as the best way to build a high-quality facility at fair cost. The Board voted to accept administration’s recommendation and approved CMAR unanimously (6–0).
Trustee Kara Newcomb said her preference through the procurement process is to "stay 'local'" when selecting contractors and construction services. The Board’s selection of CMAR begins the district’s next steps in procurement planning; administration indicated the method is commonly adopted by school districts and presents opportunities to manage cost and scheduling risks during construction.
