This is a one‑year, district‑wide, continuing (IDIQ) contract for emergency construction‑management services on any school‑district construction project whose estimated cost does not exceed $1.5 million.

Small‑business participation is encouraged through a 5 % LSBE scoring bonus.
• Scope covers pre‑construction, construction, and post‑construction phases for emergency repair, renovation, or addition projects ≤ $1.5 M each.
• Awarded to three firms (RAM Construction & Development; Rippee Construction; Childers Construction) under a continuing‑contract framework that runs July 1 2017 – June 30 2018.
• Funding is from the Leon County School Board appropriations; payment is made monthly on a schedule‑of‑values basis with 5 % retainage.
