Selection of Construction Manager At Risk (CMAR) for Elementary School #8

• During its regular meeting held December 14, 2022, the Lake Travis school board awarded a Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contract to Bartlett Cocke General Contractors for Elementary #8—one of three new schools approved by voters in November 2022. CMAR is a project delivery method in which the owner hires a construction manager to oversee the project from design to completion and deliver it with a guaranteed maximum price. Elementary School #8 will be built on property already owned by the District on Bee Creek Road. A groundbreaking ceremony to officially commemorate the start of construction is anticipated later this spring and completion is expected in August 2024.
