Muleshoe ISD
Construction Update
At the
Board Meeting last night, the Board voted to accept the proposal of Lee Lewis
Construction, Inc. to be the Construction Manager at Risk for the Dillman/Jr. High construction project. Lee
Lewis Construction will oversee and build the Dillman
and Jr. High additions for a lump sum amount of $385,000. This fixed fee
will include his overhead and profit for the job. He will help us
complete the design phase of the project over the next couple of months as part
of that fee. In February or March, he will give us a “Guaranteed Maximum
Price” for the actual construction of the project. If we approve of this
maximum price, we will authorize him to proceed with construction. His
fee will not go up unless we add a major amount of additional building to the
original plans.
We have one
of the best contractors in the state working on our project in Muleshoe.
Lee Lewis Construction has been ranked in the Top 100 Construction Managers in
the nation by Engineering News Record since 1984. You have probably seen
their signs all over
They have
built several projects with our architects, MWM Architects. Some of these
include: Jones AT&T Stadium Expansion, United MarketStreet,
They also
built several other well-known projects. Some of these include the
WTA&M Fine Arts Complex,
We are
very fortunate to get one of the best contractors in the state for the lowest
price of the contractors who submitted a proposal. We are very blessed to
have Lee Lewis Construction as a partner in our construction project.
Now the
gritty, hard work of the construction process begins. It will be 1 ½
years and literally thousands of decisions before the construction project is
completed. It will be a long process, but I am extremely relieved and
thankful that we have such a capable team working on our project. MWM
Architects and Lee Lewis Construction will add invaluable expertise to help us
end up with the best quality facilities possible within our budget.
We look
forward to Building the Future,
