Demolition, site work and new construction of an educational facility in Tacoma, Washington. Completed plans call for the demolition of a educational facility; for the construction of a 50,000-square-foot educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The alternate Public Works contracting procedure authorized in RCW 39.10.300 through 39.10.330 will be utilized for this project. This project will utilize the Progressive Design/Build delivery method. Firms with previous design/build experience or experience using a similar alternative construction delivery format are encouraged to apply. During the project, the Design/Builder will receive overall direction from designated representatives in the Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) Planning & Construction Office and will work as a member of a team to achieve project objectives. In addition to staff from the TPS Planning and Construction Office, this team may include representatives from other District departments, the Design/Build Consultant (Parametrix), other district consultants and members from the community. The existing Skyline Elementary School facility and the adjacent Professional Development Center are currently occupied and will remain occupied and fully functional during construction. The original school is circa 1963 and has had additional buildings added and additions made over time. The existing facility will remain after new school is occupied and will be utilized as a swing school for other projects under this bond program. The new facility will be approximately 50,000s.f. and designed to house 450 students. This is a proposed project that would be funded under a capital bond that is anticipated to go before the voters in February of 2020. Contracts for this work would not be executed unless the bond is approved by voters. The purpose will be to familiarize potential contractors, subcontractors and suppliers with the District's Community Inclusion Commitment and allow venue for firms/companies interested in working on District projects an opportunity to meet, network and market themselves to one another
