8.d. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE PROCUREMENT OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES FOR THE POTENTIAL 2026 BOND PROJECTS: Speaker(s): Dr. Gregory Nelson, Superintendent Description: The Board will consider and take possible action regarding the procurement of design and construction services for the potential 2026 Bond Project. In accordance with applicable procurement provisions for professional services, the administration interviewed firms and evaluated qualifications, experience, project approach, and capacity to support the district’s anticipated bond program. The district intends to utilize the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method, with architectural services serving in the lead role throughout the planning, design, and implementation phases of the project. The Board will consider a resolution to establish the project delivery method, adopt prevailing wage requirements, delegate certain project-related responsibilities to the Superintendent, and authorize the Superintendent to negotiate and enter into agreements with the proposed architect on behalf of the district.
