Notice of Commencement of Negotiations for Construction Manager At-Risk Services
Pursuant to K.S.A. 76-7,125 et seq., notice is hereby given for the seeking of interest and qualifications for Construction Management At-Risk (CMAR) services for the Wichita State University (WSU) University Stadium Project – Phase 1A/1B. The University Stadium project is a replacement for Cessna Stadium. Phasing has been developed around maintaining the spectator seating and other infrastructure required for the Wichita State Track and Field teams as well as the annual Kansas State High School Activities Association (KSHSAA) Track and Field Championship. Demolition of the east stands of Cessna Stadium has been completed outside the scope of this project as a separate small capital project. Phase 1A includes improvements on the east side of the existing track (a seating area, new free-standing field lights, ticket pavilion, restroom/storage buildings, and plaza). Phase 1B widens the existing grass field to accommodate a regulation-sized soccer field and reconfigures the 8-lane track around the widened field. This phase also includes new aluminum bleacher seating at the north and south side of the track. Future phases, 2A and 2B, will be conducted under a separate contract.
Construction costs are estimated at $9.6 million.
