Description:
Now that the voters have approved Bond 2026- $72,000,000 for a new stadium, the District needs to retain program management services related to this project. As the Board is aware, LAN was recently selected to provide other bond related program management services. Based on information learned during this recent selection process, as well as LAN’s performance to date in its new role, the administration recommends LAN as the most qualified firm to perform this additional program management role. Additionally, having a single firm performing these respective scopes will create efficiencies and lead to effective management results. The administration requests that it be authorized to negotiate within budgeted funds a scope and fees with LAN and enter into a final agreement with LAN for provision of the recommended services, to include the new stadium and other related 2026 bond or other construction projects.
