3.1. Board Special Presentation: Rex Schultze, PGH&G Law Firm
Discussion:
Mr. Schultze discussed the process of renovation, traditionally it is design, bid and build. Mr. Shultze stated that in 20 years he has only done 2 design, bid and build projects, which are quick but not necessarily beneficial. He feels since Wausa Public School's renovation will be a phased construction it is not ideal for design, bid and build. Mr. Schultze informed The Board of the Construction Manager at Risk Policy, and benefits of it. The Construction Manager works with you to negotiate the price and what you will build with each phase, it's a hands on project that is communicated with the public. Mr. Schultze went over a projected time-line for the Wausa Public Schools Project. He then discussed the Resolution to Select the Construction Manager at Risk (CMr) Delivery Process and Appointing members to the Selection Committee. Mr. Schultze then explained the Request for Qualifications of the CMr selection time-line. Terry Nelson asked if the new IT building was part of this process. He was informed that the IT building is a separate project headed by the Wausa Education foundation but yes is part of the timeline. That building will need to be up and built before the school district's process of renovation of the original shop rooms and high school library into classrooms can start.

3.2. Board Special Presentation: Boyd Jones
Discussion:
George Schuler and Emily Bannick with Boyd Jones presented the 3 Construction Delivery Methods, Design-Bid-Build - ideal for less complicated projects, site adapted and/or repeated projects in major metropolitan areas, lowest bid but savings go to contractor, choice is made on price not content. Design-Build - good for private sector, schedule sensitive projects, programmatically simple projects, projects requiring less user review, least control of cost, architect not as involved. Construction Manager at Risk (CMr) - minimize risk because owner, architect and contractor are involved, ideal for large complex projects, phased renovation and addition projects, schedule sensitive projects, and projects in rural areas, cost depends on how good the CMr is, all savings go back to the owner. CMr can fix problems on paper before construction. You pick your architect, the architect helps you pick a contractor. Open book process which is good for transparency. The Board of Education

3.3. Special Board Guest: Bob Soukup, Principal Architect, Carlson West Povondra
Discussion:
Mr. Soukup discussed that if The Board has decided to go with the CMr delivery process, they should look at the time-line Mr. Schultze presented so the process can move forward as projected. Mr. Soukup will work with Mr. Hoesing tomorrow about the Request for Qualifications of the CMr and making sure the time-line is correct.
