Proposers are expected to evaluate the district's facilities and assist in developing the project program. Proposals are due by March 29, 2024, and the district expects to select an architect by April 3, 2024 to begin work on April 22, 2024. The district expects to pay for the project through voted bonds, and intends to use a Construction Manager-At-Risk/Constructor delivery method, though the district reserves the right to modify the project delivery.

Proposers must submit pricing as a percentage of the estimated $11 million construction cost, broken out by project phase.
