Design recommendations on tap

Times staff report

Construction should be at the forefront of discussions on Thursday at the Carbon County District 1 School Board meeting.

The meeting is open to the public and should be held at 6 p.m. in the board room of the District 1 central administration office on Rodeo Street.

Brad Oberg, planning consultant for the new Rawlins elementary school complex, should give a presentation outlining his design recommendations. Through a series of meetings with representatives from each department, Oberg has developed a list of prioritized needs for the school.

Tying into the school’s planning, the School Board should hear a presentation from Rick Vancleeve, a representative from Pine Cove Consulting, about the possible contract between the technology consulting firm and the district.

At the meeting, board members should also:

• Appoint a selection committee to choose the district’s construction manager for the elementary school project.

• Vote on awarding a contract to replace one of Rawlins High School’s gym boilers.

• Hear a presentation from the Little Snake River Valley School representatives about final concerns with the four-day school week possibility.
