$103.3M max in plans for new school

A $103.3 million guaranteed maximum price (GMP) tag for the construction of Hays CISD’s third high school was given the go-ahead by district leaders.

The move was done in conjunction with approval of the GMP for construction on Hays CISD’s new elementary school, which was set at $28.7 million. Both items were approved by a 7-0 vote from the board of trustees Tuesday.

Carter Scherff, Hays CISD acting superintendent, said May 15 the district has already opened bids for construction on the two projects, which were approved by voters May 6 as Proposition 1, which totaled $189 million.
