FSH ISD delegates superintendent authority to approve 100% construction documents

Fort Sam Houston Independent School District Board of Trustees · February 21, 2025

Summary

Trustees authorized the superintendent to approve final construction documents for the 2025 construction project, citing time savings and the construction manager-at-risk delivery model; board members stressed they would be informed and would review any significant cost changes via GMP.

The board voted to delegate authority to the superintendent to review and approve 100% construction documents for the 2025 construction projects. Proponents said allowing the superintendent that authority saves time and money during the design-to-permit process and enables the district to keep design momentum.

Trustees raised concerns about potential cost overruns and how the district would handle changes; staff explained the construction manager-at-risk will develop a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) based on subcontractor bids and that the board would be brought back for approval of major cost increases. The motion passed by a majority vote.
