Review of Proposed Project, Construction Manager at Risk (CM@R) Delivery Method with Committee and CM@R Selection Process: The Selection Committee reviewed with the Project Engineer the materials provided by school district legal counsel on the CM@R construction delivery process and the statutory requirements for the selection of the CM@R for the proposed High School project (the Project). The Selection Committee then discussed the development and adoption of procedures for the review of the proposals received, the evaluation of the proposals received from the prospective candidates submitting proposals, and selection of prospective finalist candidates to interview for CM@R position.

The Committee evaluated each proposal under the selection criteria.

Upon discussion the members of the Committee each ranked the firms in order of preference, and based thereon the Committee collectively ranked the firms as follows:
The Selection Committee then determined to interview FCI Constructors, Hausmann Construction and Sampson Construction and conducted a blind draw by placing slips of paper with the names of the firms designated as finalists written on an individual slip of paper; the slips of paper were then folded in a manner to hide the name of each firm and placed in a container, and then the slips of paper were drawn from the container by Selection Committee member B.

The blind draw resulted in the CM@R finalist firms being provided the following interview times on May 22, 2017:
