GCISD Board Planning for Bond
Apparently continuing its planning for a bond election for capital improvements, the GCISD board on Dec. 12 heard a presentation from DSA, a construction management company out of Cleburne, TX. Their representative, Don Gibson, told the board that his company could oversee all aspects of any construction project, but there would be contracts between the school and individual contractors. DSA’s fee would likely be around eight percent of the total project cost, with travel included and no fee up front. If DSA is hired, and a bond issue fails, nothing is owed DSA.
Gibson suggested that a committee of community people be formed, representing both those who are likely to be for and against a bond issue. That committee would be divided into subcommittees, whose chairmen/women, after the committees study the matter, would meet with the board to recommend whether to hold a bond election, and if so, what to include in the overall project. (Please see “Wish List” in the November, 2005 Glasscock County News.)
The board will need to call for a bond election in February in order to hold an election May 6.
