Procurement Summary
The procurement of the original CIP scope was completed in February 2011. This marked a major milestone for the Capital Improvement Program.

As savings were realized, and with Board approval, new bid packages have been developed by reallocating saved funds to new projects in order to continue the effort of bringing equity to the entire district.

The new Phase 4 is ongoing ($31.5 million) and the last phase of the CIP ($39 million) will start procurement in December 2011.

Bid Previews

One effective way of publicizing the upcoming procurement of bid phases has been the Bid Previews. Conducted at the Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center, the bid previews provided opportunities to the construction community to meet the CIP leadership, program managers and architects; and to learn early on about the projects.  In addition, it was an opportunity to meet other contractors interested in teaming or developing new relationships.
