The Parker School Building Committee held a meeting on September 17, 2026, to discuss updates on the school building project, including budget status, procurement activities, and design progress. The committee approved the meeting minutes from August 20 and unanimously approved monthly project invoices totaling approximately $135,000 for OPM and schematic design services. A significant procurement discussion focused on the Construction Manager at Risk (CM at Risk) selection process, including the preparation and upcoming posting of the Request for Qualifications (RFQ), anticipated application deadlines, and the interview process for qualified firms. The committee also reviewed the project schedule, upcoming community forums, and detailed design renderings, emphasizing sustainability features such as solar panels and geothermal systems, which are being considered as add alternates in the budget. Community outreach plans and future meeting schedules were also discussed to maintain transparency and engagement throughout the project phases.
