February 24, 2025 > Board authorization to solicit proposals for a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR)
Administration believes that leveraging a CMAR can offer substantial benefits by identifying additional value engineering opportunities and expediting project readiness for student occupation. The CMAR model would complement the efforts of our architects and engineers, focusing on efficient planning, design, and administrative oversight for construction, without duplicating existing roles. A collaborative approach ensures that the projects remain cost-effective by maximizing value engineering opportunities with a second expert opinion and timely delivery of large projects, helping address the current and future space needs of the district.
