Many projects have been completed during this time. We are at about the halfway point in completing the LTFM projects identified in our facilities study. In preparation for a three-year, $32 million LTFM project beginning in 2027 at Parkview Center School, we decided to revisit the district’s needs in the Construction Management as Adviser (CMA) role. The CMA works directly for the district and is involved in all phases of preconstruction, construction, and postconstruction including design, estimating, budgeting, bid administration, scheduling, construction supervision, safety program implementation, contractor coordination, and project closeout including warranty administration. Superintendent Jenny Loeck; Shari Thompson, executive director of business services; Todd Lieser, supervisor of buildings and grounds; Rich Nifke, supervisor of custodial services; Denise Mickle, controller; and Maria Pfeffer, project engineer and director at KFI Engineering, interviewed three highly qualified firms. The committee selected H+U Construction for the project. The board had the opportunity to meet the H+U leadership team during the board study session held prior to the evening’s regular meeting. The district is requesting authorization to enter into contract negotiations with the firm. The contract will be brought to the school board for final approval. ## Recommendation: It is recommended that the board authorize district administration to enter into contract negotiations with H+U Construction to provide construction management services for Roseville Area Schools. __ X__ Action Required__ __ Informational – No Board Action Requested ## Agenda Item: 10 ## Agenda Topic:Closed Session to Evaluate the Performance of the Superintendent Meeting Date:June 9, 2026 ## Contact Person:Chair Rose Chu ## Background: This portion of the meeting will be closed as permitted by Minn.
