Colman-Egan board selects Pitts Design Build as construction manager at risk
Summary
After an executive session, the Colman-Egan School District 50-5 board voted unanimously to accept the CMAR proposal from Pitts Design Build for the district athletic-complex project. The decision follows presentations from three shortlisted firms and a round of board questions about schedule, budget and safety.
The Colman-Egan School District 50-5 board voted unanimously to accept a construction-manager-at-risk proposal from Pitts Design Build.
After returning from an executive session called to review proposals and negotiate terms, the chair asked for a motion "to accept the proposal provided by PITS." The motion was seconded and the board approved the award with no dissent; the chair later stated, "Motion is unanimous." The vote concluded the procurement portion of the evening and set the district on the path toward preconstruction work with Pitts.
Board members earlier had told proposers they hoped to make a decision that night, and proposers had presented milestones, staffing plans and cost-control approaches during their 20-minute presentations. The meeting minutes record statutory citations invoked for the executive session: "SCCL 5 18 b 44 1 d" and "SCCL 125 2 4," and the board confirmed it would meet next on February 9 at 6:00 PM.
The award follows presentations from multiple firms that described their approaches to scheduling, local subcontractor use, safety planning and community engagement. No final guaranteed maximum price (GMP) was announced at the meeting; the board's vote accepted the proposer's offering and authorized staff to proceed under the CMAR delivery method.
