Parker School Building Committee: June 10, 2026

The Parker School Building Committee held a meeting on June 10, 2026, to discuss and vote on the construction delivery method for the Parker administration building project. The committee reviewed two options: the traditional design-bid-build method and the construction manager at risk (CMR) method. After detailed discussion emphasizing the complexity of the project, site constraints, and the benefits of early contractor involvement, the committee unanimously voted to proceed with the CMR delivery method. They also approved the formation of a subcommittee to oversee the CM selection process, including representatives from the owner, project management, and architectural firms. Additionally, the committee discussed community outreach plans, including participation in a local July 4th event to educate the public about the project. The meeting concluded with scheduling considerations for upcoming meetings and updates on project submissions to the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA).
