Additionally, the board approved the selection of Garmong as the construction manager and CSO as the architect for the Monon Athletic Complex improvements and community room projects at Monon Trail and Maple Glenn Elementary schools, with final contract costs pending. The board also authorized a request for statements of qualifications to pre-qualify firms for owner’s representative services to assist with long-range capital projects.
