Baker School District Selects CB Const., Inc, as Construction Manager/General

Contractor for Remaining 2021-2023 Capital Bond Projects

BAKER CITY – (Release from the Baker School District) A Notice to Proceed went out on October 27 following an October 20 school board vote to accept the recommendation of the evaluation committee and select CB Const, Inc, of La Grande, OR, as the Construction Manager/General Contractor for remaining 2021-2023 capital bond projects.

The selection committee, which included members of the bond oversight committee, school board, and district staff, reviewed and scored proposals on October 4, then conducted interviews on October 10.

Bond oversight committee members Kevin Cassidy and Loran Joseph, who were part of the selection committee, expressed an excitement for the district to partner with CB Const, Inc, on these projects. “The company already has a good track record with Baker School District, including the middle school gym seismic rehabilitation project that just recently wrapped up,” said Mr. Cassidy. “And they demonstrated good comparable CM/GC experience with other public schools in the region, as well as a dedication to maximizing our project scope and schedule during the interview process.”

The leadership team for bond projects will partner heavily with CB Const, Inc, in a pre-construction period that is expected to last through March 2023, resulting in a more predictable schedule and ensuring that the available construction budget aligns with the scope of the work.
