Board approves $340,000 ISG design proposal for proposed athletic complex

The Colman‑Egan School District 50‑5 board approved ISG’s proposal to complete design development, construction documents, bidding administration, permitting and construction administration for a proposed athletic complex east of the school.

The Chair summarized the background and cost: “So the new bid is 340,000 for design development, construction documents bidding admin and construction admin,” and noted the district had previously paid for pre‑design work. Board members discussed the firm’s decision to offer a fixed flat fee rather than a percentage‑based fee, which ISG said would avoid price escalation tied to percentage calculations. Speaker 3 explained that the pre‑design phase was complete and that this contract would produce site‑specific plans for bids and permitting.

Board members moved and seconded the approval; the motion passed by voice vote. The transcript records a vote carried but does not include a roll‑call or numerical tally. The board noted the schedule and the need for the construction manager‑at‑risk to coordinate bid packaging and turnaround times with contractors before work moves forward.
