The project, which district officials said will come in under budget, will include three phases of renovations, starting with more parking and a band practice pad.
The cost
San Marcos CISD trustees unanimously approved a $4.8 million guaranteed maximum price, or GMP, for phase one at a March 17 meeting, as previously reported by Community Impact. The adopted GMP for that phase came in under budget, district staff said.
On May 19, trustees approved a GMP from Satterfield & Pontikes for phases 2 and 3 of the project. Though $27.8 million of the bond funds were allocated for phases two and three, the GMP came in at a lower price of $27.6 million—about $175,000 cheaper, according to district documents.
Construction on phase one is expected to run from June through September, and include:
- New parking lot
- Band pad
- Administration building renovations
- Utility work
- Band hall addition
- Black box addition
- Performance area renovations
- Performance area relocation
- Special education room renovations
- A new classroom
