CH-UH School District Announces Selection Process for Evaluation of Prospective Owner’s Representatives:

The Owner’s Representative will assist the District in performing the duties and responsibilities that must be carried out during the design and construction of the facilities renovation project. The Owner’s Representative will manage and oversee the planning/programming, design, construction document, construction and closeout phases. This entails review of financial and engineering performances as well as educational performance-goal enhancements. Additionally, the Owner’s Representative will work closely with District leadership to connect the vision, priorities and master plan to all design and construction decisions, including managing, overseeing and/or conducting cost-benefit and total life-cycle cost analyses.

On December 10, 2013, an Evaluation Committee for the role of Owner’s Representative met to interview firms for the role of Owner’s Representative. At the conclusion of those interviews, the Committee came to consensus on a ranking of the firms, and the Board of Education sought a contract agreement with the highest-ranked firm.
