While multiple delivery methods are available for public school construction, the district has narrowed its options to three. Included in Wednesday’s board presentation were:97a0a3a0-f62a-451e-8613-52ae38115d6d

  • The project can use a model called “CM Multiple Prime,” in which the scopes and schedule are developed and controlled by the construction manager. In this case, all of the Prime Contracts are held by the district.
  • It can use the traditional design-bid- build model (General Contractor).
  • The project can be developer-built, which means Romero Canyon LLC delivers a finished school to the Hart District. Cost and schedule impacts would be at the risk of Romero.

Lundgren Management has been assisting the Hart District for the last six months with general oversight of the site development phase. Shawn Fonder, vice president of program and client services for Lundgren, says the site work is nearly complete.

“The primary goal is to build the best high school facility for the district and the Castaic community,” Fonder said. “All of the current project stakeholders are on the same page in terms of working towards this very important goal.”

“The Hart District board’s selection of a delivery method for Castaic High School continues to focus on the combination of cost, quality and timeline to complete the construction of the school defined by our directives in 2010 which began the current development process,” said Governing Board Member Steve Sturgeon. “We are confident the end result will meet the Castaic community’s and district’s long-term goals.”

Hart School District Governing Board President Robert Hall said this is an exciting time for the Castaic community and the district with the school’s completion on the horizon.

“The decision on the delivery method will provide the district and the community with a clear path to completion,” Hall said. “Timelines will become much clearer as we move towards fulfilling the promise of a high school for the Castaic community.  I personally look forward to welcoming our first students to the campus in the near future.”

Those thoughts were echoed by Romero Canyon LLC project manager Randy Wrage.

“We’re literally in the home stretch toward construction,” Wrage said. “The next 24 months should be a very exciting time for everyone in the community and the Hart District who has worked so hard to make this project a reality.”

The information provided to the board Wednesday was for discussion only. Action by the board choosing which of the three delivery methods they prefer could happen within a month.
