The June 9, 2026 board agenda outlines administration’s recommendation to approve Stantec Architects to design improvements for a future Career and Technical Education (CTE) site development project. The work is tied to the district’s 2022 bond referendum, with a stated project budget of 15000000 and an anticipated completion or implementation timeline of August 2028. Procurement for architect and engineering services is being conducted under Texas Government Code 2254, with selection based on demonstrated competence and qualifications, and the Bond Program Office is recommending the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method for the project.While the architect selection is effectively decided in favor of Stantec pending board approval, the CMAR procurement and downstream construction, technology, and specialty CTE fit-out packages still represent future opportunities. Vendors in construction management, trade contracting, CTE lab equipment, and related professional services can begin positioning for the CMAR and subsequent scopes as design advances toward 2028 completion.

Procurement method for the project is recommended to be Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), creating a future CMAR selection process separate from the already recommended architect award.
